When my nervous system feels overwhelmed by the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is spend an hour cooking dinner or figuring out another “perfect” healthy recipe online.
That’s why this high protein sourdough pizza toast has been one of my favorite easy dinners lately. It’s perfect to eat on its own or paired with a simple salad for extra greens.
It takes less than 20 minutes, feels comforting, and has enough protein and healthy fats to actually leave me feeling full and satisfied without wanting to snack later.
What I love about this meal:
• cottage cheese adds extra protein
• sourdough is easier for some people to digest than traditional bread especially if you are gluteen free
• protein + healthy fats help keep this meal more balanced and filling
• it feels comforting while still being simple and nourishing
• easy to customize depending on what you have at home
