I thought I'd start posting snacks here, because often times, it's not what we eat for dinner that makes us put on the pounds, it's what we eat the rest of the day. This snack actually works well as a small lunch too. A few years ago I did a few sessions with a personal trainer at the gym. She encouraged me to eat more cottage cheese because of the protein content, and so I have. Topping this snack with bananas, honey, and nutmeg, makes it especially yummy. I love nutmeg. Did you know if you eat it in large doses it can cause delirium? True story. I wrote a paper on nutmeg drug use in a class once. (Abnormal psychoactivity is caused by nutmeg's myristicin content.) There have been only a few fatal cases of myristicin poisoning, but I was shocked by the number of recorded hospital incidences in which people have tried to get high on this stuff. So, stick to eating nutmeg in small doses, as in this recipe, and your only side effect will be happiness.
