Cottage Cheese & Pumpkin

This is one of the easiest snacks and it's packed with power foods. Cottage cheese is a Superb source of protein and you know my love affair with pumpkin. I never thought I would say that cottage cheese is now one a staple in my diet~Wow!!
  
  • 1/2 cup canned or fresh pumpkin 
  • 1/4 cup lowfat cottage cheese (I use Nancy's Brand found at WF...it has the least amount of sodium)
  • 1/2 tsp. Stevia
  • 1 tsp. Cinnamon
  • scant handful of pecans or walnuts 
Tip: Cottage cheese is the best food to have as a late night snack if you find yourself hungry before heading to bed. It has Casein protein which is a slow digesting protein and keeps the muscles from breading down while you sleep.
