This recipe is very simply, tasty and very filling. Feel free to put your own spin on it. The flaxseed oil can be substituted with peanut oil or 1 tsp of lemon-flavored fish oil. Any berries can be used, of course. The sweetener can also be substituted with stevia. For a post-workout option, replace the cottage cheese with some greek yogurt and an additional serving of fruit. Enjoy! This recipe is from Precision Nutrition.
