Cottage Cheese
Cottage cheese is a fresh, soft cheese made by curdling milk and draining the whey. It has a mild, slightly tangy flavor and a creamy yet lumpy texture. Packed with protein and low in fat, it’s a favorite among health-conscious eaters. It can be eaten plain, with fruit, or in savory dishes.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is made from oats that are either rolled, steel-cut, or instant. When cooked with water or milk, it forms a warm, creamy porridge. Rich in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, it supports heart health and digestion. Oatmeal pairs well with fruits, nuts, and sweeteners like honey or cinnamon.
Grits
Grits are made from ground corn, typically hominy, and cooked into a smooth, thick porridge. A staple in Southern U.S. cuisine, grits have a mild, slightly sweet corn flavor. They can be served with butter, cheese, or savory toppings like shrimp and gravy. Rich in carbohydrates, grits provide energy and warmth.
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is a thick, strained yogurt with a creamy texture and tangy taste. It’s higher in protein and lower in sugar than regular yogurt. Rich in probiotics, it supports gut health. Greek yogurt is versatile—eaten plain, sweetened with honey, or used in savory dips and smoothies.
