PROTEIN IN PART OF A HEALTHY DIET AND GETTING OPTIMAL AMOUNTS OF PROTEIN HELPS US FEEL GREAT
AND LOOK GREAT.
PROTEIN CAN EVEN HELP TRIM INCHES AND CONTROL FAT.
WE LOVE THAT.
AND WHILE YOGURT REMAINS A POPULAR SOURCE SO TOO DOES COTTAGE CHEESE.

RECIPES AND DISHES.

HI JULIE.

BUT COTTAGE CHEESE CAN ALSO PROVIDE EVEN MORE PROTEIN THAN YOGURT, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

PER SERVING.
AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO WATCH YOUR WEIGHT BECAUSE YOU REALLY WANT
TO MAKE EVERY CALORIE COUNT SO YOU REALLY GET MAXIMUM BANG FOR YOUR BUCK.

SUPER FOODS AND DIFFERENT INGREDIENTS THAT ARE BOTH GOOD FOR YOU AND DELICIOUS SO THIS
