High Protein Cinnamon Honey Whipped Cream Try This Gastroenterologist Approved Healthy Dessert Topping Alternative

This protein-packed whipped cream is rich, creamy, and incredibly versatile. It serves as a healthier alternative to traditional whipped cream while adding a boost of protein to your favourite snacks and desserts. Spoon it over fresh fruit, use it to make peaches and cream by topping air-fried peaches, or pair it with air-fried apples for a high-protein twist on the classic apples-and-cream dessert. It also complements baked sweet potatoes, oatmeal, yoghurt bowls, fruit bowls, pancakes, waffles, French toast, berries, pears, bananas, chia pudding, overnight oats, and a variety of healthier desserts, making it an easy addition to both breakfast and sweet treats.

According to Dr Salhab, cottage cheese forms the perfect base for this recipe because it is naturally rich in protein and calcium while containing far less sugar than many traditional whipped cream toppings. The high protein content can help promote satiety, keeping you feeling fuller for longer, while calcium plays an important role in maintaining strong, healthy bones.

He explains, “Cottage cheese is naturally high in protein and calcium while being lower in sugar than many traditional dessert toppings. The protein can help support fullness and muscle maintenance, while calcium plays an important role in bone health. Cinnamon adds flavour without added sugar, and honey provides a touch of natural sweetness.”
