    Stuffed Pomelo Protein Breakfast

    Pomelo Stuffed with Cottage Cheese

    Before Greek yogurt became the star of healthy protein-rich breakfasts, there was cottage cheese! This overlooked product, often associated with strict diets, is in fact super versatile! It goes perfectly well with many fruits, especially with citruses such as grapefruits or pomelos!

    Its high protein content makes cottage cheese ideal for any breakfast recipe! Plus the pomelo (or grapefruit) is used as a bowl in this recipe, so less dish washing to do afterwards!

    SIMPLY DELICIOUS: For some extra crunch, add roasted soybean seeds and slivered almonds. Yum!

    à savoir

    Benefits of pomelos and grapefruits

    One of the main benefits of grapefruits (or pomelos) is their high vitamin C content. Indeed, just one fruit fulfills 100% of the daily vitamin C need of an adult. And that’s not all, grapefruits are also rich in lycopene, an antioxidant linked to prostate and lung cancer risk reduction.

    Similarly, grapefruits help prevent cardiovascular diseases. Plus, citruses generally facilitate the absorption of iron from plant foods, which is a significant advantage for vegetarians and vegans who need to fulfill their iron need.
