Notes
*if you're low histamine, please see notes on cinnamon below.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the cottage cheese so that it is whipped before adding the apple and toppings.
- Full fat cottage cheese has a creamier flavor, while low fat cottage cheese tends to have a bit of a tang.
- Nutritional information is auto-generated and should be understood to be an estimate.
- cottage cheese is on the 'well tolerated' section of the SIGHI elimination diet for histamine intolerance, but is not mentioned on the list for mast cell disorders. Only try if known to tolerate well.
- cardamom scores 0, but there are notes in French to use sparingly, and that as there are many varieties, not all may be well tolerated.
- cinnamon, which scores 0 but is rated as higher histamine on other lists.
