Great Cottage Cheese Recipes

My tracker-challenge buddy, Steve, mentioned that he mixes yogurt with cottage cheese to make a delicious snack. Now it's a regular staple for me. The picture on the left is cottage cheese mixed with Post Grape Nuts. Yummy! You could substitute the Grape Nuts with shredded wheat, oatmeal, or any other high fiber carb. A great, late-night snack.

Also, cottage cheese is high in casein protein, which takes a long time to digest. Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.
