Cottage cheese is making a comeback in 2024, and for a good reason. Nutritionally, it's a powerhouse! It's super high in protein at 20 grams per serving and is a great source of calcium, vitamin B12, potassium, and selenium. These nutrients play a role in supporting good muscle quality, improved metabolism, better blood sugar management, higher energy levels and efficient hormone balancing.
