Talk Macros to Me

When I think about high protein recipes in my line up, it’s usually thanks to a few top contenders – Chicken breast, Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. All high protein, potentially low fat when you go for 0 or 2% milk fat dairy and all incredibly versatile in recipes. We’ll call this recipe the ultimate trifecta because this one has it all.

I swapped out cream cheese and shredded mozzarella that’s traditionally used in dips and replaced it with whipped cottage cheese for that creamy flavor without the added saturated fat. Start this recipe by whipping your cottage cheese. I made mine using a hand blender but if you don’t have one you could also use a blender or food processor until cottage cheese is smooth and creamy.

You can use any buffalo sauce but i recommend Primal Kitchen. Their ingredients are high quality, gluten free, free from artificial sweeteners and use whole food ingredients. their buffalo sauce specifically is a staple in our kitchen and frequently sold in bulk at Costco.

Serve this as a traditional dip along side fresh crunchy veggies or chips. This is perfect for a party app, high protein snack or a great lunch option. Or spoon it over a baked sweet potato for as to balanced dinner.
