Other Ways to Use Cottage Cheese in Low Carb Meals

Cottage Cheese Protein Pancakes: Use blended cottage cheese in place of the milk in your pancake recipe to increase the protein and make delicious fluffy pancakes!
Cottage Cheese Smoothie: Add 12 grams of protein, a creamy texture, and a “cheesecake” flavor to your favorite smoothie recipes by adding 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.
Whipped Cottage Cheese Dip: Add a container of cottage cheese to a food processor, and process until very smooth and creamy. Add fresh chopped garlic, and either fresh or dried herbs. I recommend adding dill and Italian parsley, and some salt and pepper, for a creamy herb dip.
Ranch Dressing with Cottage Cheese: Skip the mayo, and use blended cottage cheese to form the creamy base. Simply mix with your favorite ranch dressing mix!
Cottage Cheese Ice Cream: If you missed the viral TikTok trend, whole milk cottage cheese makes a great no-churn ice cream! Add a container to a food processor, and blend it until very smooth. Add in a sweetener, optional fruit, and vanilla extract. Optionally add nut butter or cacao powder. Once it’s all mixed together, add it to a container and freeze for 3-5 hours, until a scoopable texture is reached.
Cottage Cheese Protein Pudding: A great high protein dessert that will leave you feeling satisfied (and keep insulin levels low while you sleep). Add cottage cheese to a food processor along with your favorite protein powder. If your protein powder doesn’t contain a sweetener, use your favorite sweetener to taste. Add vanilla extract, and mix together well. The “pudding” will firm as it chills, so store it in individual containers until ready to serve. Top with berries, sugar free chocolate chips, or keto granola to serve.
