When most people think of ‘cheese’, they think of an unhealthy addition to their diet plan.
Cheese is often regarded as being too high in fat and calories.
But there’s one cheese variety that you never have to worry about. That variety? Cottage cheese.
The huge benefits of this dairy delight include:
- Higher in protein than most conventional cheeses
- Low fat varieties available
- Good source of dietary calcium
- Great for combating hunger as the protein found in cottage cheese is the casein variety, which digests slower in the body
- Relatively low in calories at about 100 calories per serving
For many people, the texture of cottage cheese is what turns them off… if that’s the case for you, consider simply blending it into a protein smoothie. You’ll still reap all the benefits and won’t notice the texture at all.
Or, try serving cottage cheese in a few different ways such as with sweet tasting fruits, or served savory by combining it with some olives.
However you choose to serve it, including cottage cheese in your diet can be a wonderfully slimming thing!
