12 ways to get a cottage cheese protein fix

Centr Team

Is there anything cottage cheese can’t do? This creamy cheese is high in protein and calcium, and many varieties are low in fat. You can spin cottage cheese recipes savory, or take it sweet. It can be used as a substitute for higher-fat ricotta cheese or sour cream, or eaten as is.

All that cottage cheese protein makes it a great breakfast option and a perfect post-workout refuel.

We’ve lined up some of our favorite recipes using cottage cheese to show you how to get that protein fix in every meal of the day.
