Spinach and Cottage Cheese Muffins

Cottage cheese is the only cheese that is compatible with the Slow Carb Diet. It is recommended by Tim Ferriss as it has a low lactose content. This simple bake recipe is really yummy, high in protein and makes an excellent lunch box treat. I make a batch on the weekend and refrigerate for the week.

Ingredients 
(Vegetarian, Four Hour Body, Slow Carb Diet, Gluten Free)

Total protein: ~ 46g
Protein per muffin: ~ 7.6g

500g frozen spinach
6 tablespoons of cottage cheese (full cream or low fat)
1 egg
½ teaspoon salt


Preparation
  1. Spinach: Thaw the spinach either overnight in the fridge or in the microwave. Squeeze as much water as possible from the spinach. 
  2. Cottage cheese, egg & salt: Mix these ingredients with the spinach. 

Baking
Preheat the oven to 200oC. Spoon the spinach mixture into a muffin tray. There should be enough for 6 medium-sized muffins. I use a silicone muffin tray, so I do not line the muffin tray with muffin baking paper. Bake for 20 minutes.
