Nonfat Cottage Cheese
Nonfat cottage cheese is a fantastic protein packed snack to eat in the daytime. If you want can add some fresh fruit like blueberries, pineapple or peaches and augment the nutrients even more. Cottage cheese offers high quality protein and is also an excellent source of riboflavin and calcium.
Cottage cheese is a soft, fresh-curd variety of cheese originating of Europe and America for centuries. It is an uncured cheese (one that has not been aged), and is preferred by weight watchers because it is lower in fat than most cheeses.
In the elaboration process of cheese cottage, the first pass of cheese making takes place as the milk is separated into curds (milk protein and butter fat) and whey (the liquid component of milk). The curds are then delicately heated and drained. The cheese is now ready to eat, though cream and seasoning may be added to some varieties.
