Benefits Of Eating Cottage Cheese
Often called a superfood, cottage tops our list of high-protein foods that we add weekly to our grocery list.
We buy the Great Value 750g tub from Walmart, Canada, for the best price and quality.
There are many other benefits of eating a low-fat 1-2% cottage cheese, such as;
- High in protein
- Excellent source of calcium
- Supports a healthy diet
- It may contain probiotics to help your gut health and digestion
Due to the slow absorption of casein, some bodybuilders like to eat cottage cheese before bed.
This leads to a sustained release of amino acids into the blood and muscles during the night, which may reduce muscle breakdown

Filling Ideas
The great thing about this cottage cheese wrap is that you can stuff it with savory or sweet fillings.
We’ve used whipped cream cheese and sugar-free strawberry chia jam, then rolled it to go.
If you want to eat it at home, add maple syrup on top, and you’ve got yourself a high-protein brunch or breakfast that will keep you full for hours.
Deli meats and cheeses such as burrata, mozzarella, and provolone are great for savory fillings and grilled steak, chicken, and roasted veggies.
Add extra flavor to the cottage cheese wrap using homemade pesto, guacamole, salsa, pickles, hot pepper rings, mustard, mayo, or balsamic vinegar.
The choices are endless when filling this high-protein wrap that suits your tastes.
