8 Delicious and Healthy Cottage Cheese Snacks You Will Crave Repeatedly

Cottage Cheese is highly underrated. Not only is it incredibly versatile because of its mellow flavour profile, but it also packs a protein punch. Did you know that just one cup of cottage cheese has a staggering 25 grams of protein? Our heart might tell us to grab the sodium-loaded packet of chips and chug it down with a can of Coke. But our body knows better! Here are eight healthy cottage cheese snacks that are  a perfect combo of taste and nutrition

Chips & Cottage Cheese Dip

1 cup cottage cheese

¼ cup sour cream

Two cloves of minced garlic

½ tsp onion powder

Half a lemon wedge

Chopped cilantro 

Salt

Pepper

Chilli Flakes

A dash of hot sauce if you love spice

Directions

In a big bowl, add your cottage cheese and sour cream. Then, add the minced garlic and all spices. Mix thoroughly so the flavour is evenly distributed. Next, squeeze in the lemon wedge and add the hot sauce. Mix well until combined. Garnish with cilantro, and enjoy with pita chips or crackers!

Takis Stuffed Cottage Cheese Sweet Pepper Bites

Assorted sweet peppers

Cottage Cheese

Takis

Cilantro or any herbs of your choice

Minced garlic

Salt

Pepper

Directions

Another one of these healthy cottage cheese snacks would be these stuffed cottage chees sweet peppers. Cut the head off the sweet peppers as you will stuff cottage cheese into it. Add cottage cheese into a bowl with the minced garlic, herbs, and all the seasonings. Mix it until well combined. Put that filling into a piping bag. You can also use a makeshift piping bag by pouring the mixture into a plastic bag. Push it toward the end and secure it with a tight know. Cut the tip just enough so your mixture can pass smoothly. Start piping the mixture into the sweet peppers, but don’t overfill. Stick 4-5 takis in each and enjoy!

1 cup Greek yoghurt

½ up cottage cheese

½ tsp vanilla extract 

1-2  tbsp honey/agave/maple syrup

1 cup granola

1 cup fresh fruits

4-5 silvered almonds for garnish

Directions

Try this one to satisfy your sweet tooth with healthy cottage cheese snacks. Mix cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener of choice, and vanilla well until combined. Take a mason jar or bowl and start the layering process. Next comes the granola. Then add the fresh fruit. Repeat this process until you fill the jar or run out of ingredients. Garnish the top with fresh fruits and chopped almonds for added texture and flavour.

Guacamole and Cottage Cheese Toast

One ripe avocado

One small tomato, diced

¼ cup red onion, diced

Two cloves of garlic, minced

Juice of half a lime

Redchillii flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Two slices whole grain bread

Cottage cheese ( as much as you want)

Directions

Start by mashing the avocado with a fork ( make sure it is ripe). Add the diced onion, tomato, salt, pepper, red chilli flakes, and minced garlic. Squeeze lime juice for freshness. Garnish with chopped cilantro ( or leave it out if it tastes like soap to you). Pop those slices in the toaster. Once they have achieved golden crispiness, spread the guac evenly. Add dollops of cottage cheese, as desired

Cottage Cheese Eggs

Two large eggs

¼ cup cottage cheese

¼  cup thinly sliced mushrooms

Olive oil 

Pepper Jack cheese

Salt and pepper for seasoning ( you can use any)

Green onion

Directions:

Whisk the two eggs in a bowl with all your spices until well beaten. Gently fold in the cottage cheese and mix well to combine. Add a dash of olive oil into a heated skillet and put your eggy mixture into it once heated. Allow the eggs to set for a moment, then gently stir with a spatula, lifting and folding them until they are mostly cooked but still slightly soft with a velvety texture. Grate a healthy serving of cheese while still hot, and top it off with some green onion. 

Grilled Cottage Cheese Sandwich

Two slices of sourdough bread

½ cup cottage cheese

½  tomato, finely slices

¼ medium red onion, finely sliced

Fresh basil leaves

Olive oil or butter

Salt, pepper, and garlic powder ( as per taste)

Directions

Amongst healthy cottage cheese snacks, this puts a spin on the American classic. Whisk cottage cheese with all of your spices in a bowl. Chiffonade the basil and throw it in the mix for an added depth of flavour. Spread the mixture on both sides of the bread. Evenly layer your slices of tomato and onion. In a pan, lightly drizzle olive oil, or take a small knob of butter and bring it to medium heat. Heat your sandwich until the bread turns golden crispy goodness and the cheese becomes gooey. Make it a meal with tomato soup or salsa as a dip if you’re short on time.

Chia and Cottage Cheese Pudding

For the chia pudding:
¼ cup chia seeds

1 cup of any milk of choice ( dairy, soy, almond)

2tbsp of agave, honey, or maple syrup

½ cup cottage cheese

Fresh strawberries

Granola for topping

Cacao nibs for topping

Directions: 

Mix chia seeds, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix until no lumps are left, and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or overnight. This one takes the longest of all the healthy cottage cheese snacks but is worth it! The chia seeds will soak up all the milk and expand in size, leaving you with a pudding-like consistency.

Take a mason jar and fill the base with your chia concoction. Add a layer of cottage cheese, followed by berries. Repeat until you are out of ingredients. Garnish with a sprinkle of granola and cacao nibs for a texture variation and, of course, to make it Intsa-worthy.
