Is cottage cheese healthy?

Cottage cheese is a low-carb cheese that’s packed with protein. One cup has 25 grams. Not to mention, it’s an excellent source of calcium. It’s so versatile and great for everything from lasagna with cottage cheese, to bowls to baking to eggs.

Ingredients

• Cottage Cheese: I used Good Culture’s 2% cottage cheese. It’s my favorite brand, but anything will work.
• Dill: Chop a tablespoon of fresh dill.
• Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes, yellow or orange bell pepper, mini cucumbers
• Salt and pepper to season the veggies
• Olives: Chop pitted Kalamata olives.
• Feta crumbled on top
• Olive Oil for drizzling if desired

How to Make Greek Cottage Cheese Bowls

1. Mix the cottage cheese and half of the dill in a small bowl.
2. Add the vegetables and season with salt and pepper.
3. Top with olives, feta, and remaining dill, and drizzle with olive oil.

How to Meal Prep Cottage Cheese Bowls

These Greek cottage cheese bowls are perfect for a quick and easy lunch. You can cut the bell peppers, cucumber, and olives up to three days before you eat them. Store them in one container and the cottage cheese and dill in another. Wait to cut your tomatoes until right before eating them so they don’t get soggy.

Variations
