I tried the viral cottage cheese flat bread - here's how I went!
So I have to admit, I am not first out of the gates on anything viral.
Infact I am probably last.
But I saw the insta people posting about a cottage cheese flat bread and it looked good and healthy - and high in protein which is always important to me
So I decided to give it a whirl to see if it was any good.
And I am happy to report that it was good!
Recipe
- 3/4 cup of cottage cheese
- 1 x egg
- And optionally you can add seasoning like salt, pepper, garlic powder, herbs
Method
Throw it into a blender or food processor
Then line a baking tray with baking paper and pour the blended mixture out and spread it thinly and then bake on a medium/high heat for approx 20 mins (I kept an eye on it as it seemed to cook and brown up pretty quickly)
Then let it cool and gently peel off the baking paper and ta da you are done
Just then use it as a wrap (I filled mine with left over bolognaise, spring onions and greek yoghurt) and it was DELISH!
Why is cottage cheese good for us
And here's some facts on why cottage cheese is so good for us
1. High in Protein
Cottage cheese is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair and growth. It's particularly beneficial for those looking to build or maintain lean muscle mass. The high protein content also helps in keeping you full for longer periods, aiding in weight management.
2. Rich in Essential Nutrients
Cottage cheese is packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins (especially B12 and riboflavin). Calcium and phosphorus are vital for maintaining strong bones and teeth, while B vitamins play crucial roles in energy production and overall metabolic health.
3. Supports Gut Health
Cottage cheese contains probiotics, beneficial bacteria that promote a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced gut microbiome is linked to improved digestion, enhanced immune function, and better overall health. Including cottage cheese in your diet can help support and maintain a healthy digestive system.
These benefits make cottage cheese a versatile and nutritious addition to various diets, particularly for those focused on muscle building, bone health, and digestive wellness.
