When it comes to consuming cottage cheese, the one thing to be keep in mind is that along with all of those wonderful nutrients, it also carries a lot of sodium, according to Curry. “About 30 percent of the recommended intake for an entire day,” she says. Good news though: “If you have high-blood pressure that is sensitive to salt or just want a lower-sodium cottage cheese, you will easily find this at most grocery stores.
Aside from its ability to support bone health, one of the best health benefits of cottage cheese is that it’s high in protein. This makes it a good option to eat for post-workout snack, Curry says. “Half a cup of cottage cheese with peach slices provides the whey protein to support muscle recovery, the calcium, sodium, and potassium to replace the electrolytes lost in sweat, and the carbs needed to replenish glycogen stores,” she says.
Curry says eating cottage cheese with fruit is her favorite way to enjoy it, but notes that you don’t need to consume it in any specific way to reap its nutritional benefits. This makes it a versatile ingredient to add to lots of dishes as evidenced by the round-up of cottage cheese recipes below.1.
