Turmeric banana breakfast pudding.
Why this is peri-perfect… Creamy, quick, and packed with hormone-supporting nutrients. The cottage cheese and protein powder provide a powerful protein boost to steady energy, reduce cravings, and protect lean muscle. Banana adds natural sweetness and potassium for fluid balance, while turmeric and black pepper work together to calm inflammation and support joint health. A hint of cinnamon helps with blood sugar balance, making it especially smart for midlife metabolism. It’s light yet satisfying - the perfect blend for a cozy, nourishing start to your day.
Ingredients:
1/2 small ripe banana
100g low-fat cottage cheese

1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/8 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of black pepper (helps activate turmeric)
1–2 tbsp water or milk of choice — to blend
