Protein powder and cottage cheese are high protein ingredients that offer numerous benefits when incorporated into recipes. They support bone health, muscle maintenance, and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Eating lots of protein also helps increase satiety, keeping you feeling full for longer.

Although these recipes –  cookie dough, mousse, and smoothie – are sweet, you can also use protein powder and cottage cheese to make savory recipes like dips. Feel free to get creative and keep an eye on our Instagram page for new recipes.

Please note that when using protein powder and cottage cheese together, it is essential to blend them thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency. It is also worth noting that you can experiment with different ratios and flavor combinations to find the taste and texture that you prefer. Whether you are looking to increase your protein intake, enhance the nutritional value of your meals, or improve the taste and texture of your recipes, the combination of protein powder and cottage cheese is incredible!

Why drink wholesome?

Why use our protein powders? For starters, our egg white protein powders are made using whole food protein sources, not protein concentrates and isolates. The latter have been stripped of everything but the protein, giving them an unpleasant chalky aftertaste.

Our protein powder is also sweetened with maple sugar or monk fruit. Nearly every other protein powder company uses artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or stevia, all of which have a bitter aftertaste because they trigger bitter taste receptors. Order samples to taste the difference.

Now, without further ado, here are the best cottage cheese high protein recipes. Enjoy!
