Healthy, because
Cottage cheese contains plenty of high-quality protein, which is needed, among other things, for muscle building and ensures long-lasting satiety. In addition, the dairy product provides us with a lot of calcium. This mineral is important for strong bones and teeth. Apple a large proportion of the vitamins and polyphenols are located directly under the rind - and there is plenty of pectin in it. This fiber stimulates digestion and makes it easier for our body to remove waste and toxins. Almonds convince with a large load of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which exert a positive influence on cholesterol as well as blood sugar levels.
Even smarter
