But it's all chunky and stuff...

...yes that may be true, however I promise it makes a tasty, healthy and filling snack!

COTTAGE CHEESE

Some facts you should know about it:

1. It is a cheese, however it is not fermented. This is great for people who have a sensitivity towards fermented foods.

2. It is a low fat, protein filled food making it a good choice to keep you full for a while. Half a cup is only 100 calories, but has 15 grams of protein.

3. There are many different ways you can enjoy it. Have it savory or sweet- add some diced veggies or sliced fruit. Make it more interesting with spices or honey!


One thing to watch out for is that it can have a high sodium content as seen on the label here. You can get cottage cheese in  non-fat, 1% or 2%.  

Fruit wise I think cottage cheese tastes awesome with berries. If you're looking to make a veggie snack my personal favourite is with diced cucumber. 

TIP: Try replacing your toast at breakfast with cottage cheese! Cut out some carbs and add some protein.
