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.
Blending half the cottage cheese and leaving the rest whole-curd gives you the texture of ricotta without buying ricotta.

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 Pasta Bake Meal Prep
A baked pasta casserole where cottage cheese fills in for a chunk of the ricotta and cream you'd normally use, so the protein climbs without the dish getting heavier. Bakes as one big tray and portions out cleanly once cooled.

Baked Light Chicken Parmesan
Chicken parmesan baked instead of fried, so the crust stays crisp without a pan of oil. Just as satisfying with a fraction of the fat.

Cottage Cheese Alfredo Pasta
Blended cottage cheese and a little parmesan make a sauce that clings to pasta just like a cream alfredo, minus most of the cream. Toss with grilled chicken and cracked pepper for something that tastes like a restaurant plate.

Chicken Crust Margherita Pizza
A pizza crust made almost entirely from ground chicken instead of dough, so the whole pie carries more protein than a regular slice of pizza has in total. Bake the crust firm before adding toppings or it turns soggy.
