What Is Blended Cottage Cheese?
Dietician Samar Kullab explains in her TikTok that blending cottage cheese in the food processor can smooth out the chunky texture, which turns some people off. Cottage cheese also doesn’t have the tart or tangy flavor of yogurt or sour cream and Kullab insists it can work better in dips, dressings and sauces. I followed Kullab’s advice and blended cottage cheese with oregano, sumac, onion powder, ground coriander, salt and a squeeze of lemon juice and it made for a very simple, tasty dip for carrots and celery.
Is Cottage Cheese Good For You?
No one ever disputed that cottage cheese was good for you. It’s full of protein and is a solidly low-carb snack. Cottage cheese has been found to promote a healthy weight. Studies also found that eating cottage cheese can reduce post-meal blood glucose levels—the measure of your blood sugar after eating that is crucial for preventing and managing diabetes.
So what are you waiting for? Give cottage cheese a new spin.
