For several years, we have been trying to find typical Portuguese dessert recipes where we could get our protein, nutrient and caloric requirements. As it happens, making sweets rich in protein, normally ends up terribly. Why? Because of the awful texture.

Recently we found a rice pudding recipe that is so simple and delicious that we decided to share it with you through our blog.

Ingredients:

• 200g Cottage Cheese (We use Milsa brand which you can buy in Aldi);
• 30g Vanilla Protein Powder;
• 50ml water;
• Cinnamon and sweetener to your preference.

Preparation:

• The preparation is incredibly simple: All you have to do is mix all the ingredients together in a bowl, mix with a spoon and let it set in either the fridge or the freezer for it to gain some consistency.

Notes:

• We use Milsa brand Cottage Cheese because it’s granulated and has a texture similar to rice;
• We don’t use rice in this recipe because it ends up with a taste very similar to real rice pudding;
• We suggest you add brown rice or oatmeal to the recipe if you want to boost it’s fiber content!
