Perfect after a hard training session, this breakfast is not only packed full of protein at a whopping 34gr per serving…it also has anti-inflammatory benefits. And when something so healthy looks this elegant, why wouldn’t you want to eat it?
Ingredients
- 50 gr. cucumber with peel
- 2 slices pumpernickel bread
- 100 gr. low fat cottage cheese
- 85 gr. smoked salmon
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and slice the cucumber (50 gr is about a 5cm piece); if you wish you can take out the seeds – they provide little nutrition and, for some, are difficult to digest.
- Toast the bread slices and divide the cottage cheese over them.
- Place the cucumber slices on top and grind some black pepper over it.
- Finally place the salmon on top and serve.
Notes
The nutritional data is based on pumpernickel bread, a very dark and course rye bread. You can substitute for any other bread that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic load.
