Nutritional values

The grainy cream cheese, also called cottage cheese, is especially popular with athletes. It contains a lot of high-quality protein, which is especially important for muscle building. The crunchy peppers provide us with a lot of vitamin C, which is of great importance for an intact immune system.

If you don't like or can't tolerate peppers, you can fill mini cucumbers instead. The dill can also be easily replaced with another type of herb, such as parsley or chives.
