Cottage cheese for children
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The healing properties of cottage cheese are due to the presence of casein, which has excellent nutritional benefits and high nutritional value. This cottage cheese treat can be prepared for children as a second dinner or at any time during the day. Add fruits and berries to taste (as well as honey and sugar). Moreover, casein (milk protein) can replace animal protein, and the most important property of cottage cheese is promoting and strengthening bone tissue. Prepare this delicious dessert for your kids yourself in just 15 minutes. It's simple and quick. Serve chilled.

Step 1
1. I prepare cottage cheese for my children using sour milk, homemade yogurt, or kefir. Of course, it's best to make this dessert from sour homemade milk (it yields little whey and lots of curds). But if you don't have it, you can use store-bought kefir. The fat content determines the amount of cottage cheese obtained.

Step 6
6. I really love my baby blender; it has served me faithfully for over a year. Now I only use it for making cottage cheese. To keep the cottage cheese from being too thick, add a little juice or boiled water (I even add some whey left over from cooking).
