Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dicing the apple into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chopped apple with a dash of cinnamon. Warm 1 tablespoon of peanut butter in the microwave for about 10 seconds, drizzle it over the apples, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of raisins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crack 2 eggs and whisk with a splash of water. Heat a non-stick skillet and pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently as they cook for about 3-4 minutes, then add 2 ounces of your choice of cooked lean protein and stir just to heat through.
  3. Place ½ cup of cottage cheese in a bowl and create a small well in the center. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of honey over it.
  4. Add the scrambled eggs and protein mixture over the cottage cheese and honey. Optionally add cheese slices or cubes around the eggs.
  5. Gently mix all ingredients together onto a plate. Serve immediately for the best experience.
