Cottage Cheese As A High Protein Snack

I’m always on the hunt for a high protein snack that’s really quick and easy.

One of the best things I’ve learned – thank you Susie Burrell and VisionPT – is that having a high protein snack in the mid afternoon means I eat a lot less at dinner.

And I just don’t  get that urge to nibble at night.

Now until recently, I wasn’t keen on low fat cottage cheese at all.  Thought it’d be too dry and yukky.

Then I tried some.

Proved wrong!!

I often buy Aldi’s low fat cottage cheese, it’s my fave by far.

That’s not a bad mid-meal snack for me.

And I’ll often have 200mg of cottage cheese as my protein at lunch as well, giving me:

180 cals

375 kj

Protein 27.4g

Carbs: 7.2g

Fat: 2g

That with some fibre-packed fruit and veg and/or bread makes a good lunch.

With some Sami’s Kitchen spice blend – mix and scoff.

So delicious with passionfruit

Latest lunch win… very good red onion and tomato jam from… with green leaf salad and some kidney beans… outrageous.

Do you mix other things in with cottage cheese?

What’s your favourite?

Happy healthy eating.
