Cottage Cheese – The Secret Protein Powerhouse
Cottage cheese is one of the simplest, most affordable ways to add extra protein to your day. It’s packed with casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full longer. If the texture has kept you away in the past, blending it is a game-changer! It turns incredibly smooth and works perfectly in both sweet and savory dishes.
