NewTurkey Pepperoni Cheese Wrap with Avocado and Sprouts
The wrap itself is the protein. Grated mozzarella and turkey pepperoni bake into one flexible sheet on parchment, then fold cold around lettuce, tomato, avocado and a smear of Greek yogurt. No flour, no tortilla, and most of the 38 g sits in the shell rather than the filling.

Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl
No crust, no rolling pin: warm blended cottage cheese stands in for the base, topped and broiled like a pizza until the cheese is bubbling. Eat it with a spoon, or scoop with cottage cheese everything bagel chips if you want something crunchy alongside.

Bacon Cheddar Egg Bites
Baked in a water bath so the eggs set into a silky, custard-like texture instead of turning rubbery. Blended cottage cheese does the same job heavy cream normally would, and the result freezes and reheats well one bite at a time.
