3/4 cup apple sauce (unsweetened)

½ cup cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt)

2 scoops vanilla protein powder

1 tsp vanilla

Toppings (optional):

4 tbsp lite whip cream

4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt 2%

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter until melted. Then add diced apples and stir coating apples. Now add cinnamon and maple syrup. Keep stirring until covered. As the liquid starts to evaporate, turn heat to medium low, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until the apples are soft (about 10-15 min). Be sure to stir constantly.

2. While apples are softening, in a blender, combine milk, apple sauce, cottage cheese, protein powder, vanilla, maple syrup, and spices. Blend until smooth.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine oats, chia seeds, and milk mixture and stir until well combined. Let sit for 3 min. Stir again. Add 1 cup of cinnamon apples to mixture. Stir again. Store remaining apples in fridge.

4. To 4 small Tupperware, divide oat mixture evenly. Store in fridge overnight.

5. When ready to eat, combine 1 tbsp whip cream and 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt. Stir until smooth.

6. Warm remaining apples with a splash of water in microwave. Add warm apples and protein whip cream on top.
