Cottage cheese is back, and no, you still don’t have to eat it straight from the container. This round blends it into soup, pizza, chowder, pasta, chicken salad, enchiladas and dips. The texture disappears. The protein doesn’t.

Start with the pepperoni pizza if you’re suspicious. The cottage cheese crust packs 21g of protein per slice. Chicken corn chowder hits 38g, taco spaghetti has 43g and Marry Me Chicken Pasta wins with 58g. You’d never know it’s in there.

These 10 recipes cover weeknight dinners, meal-prep lunches, soups and party dips. No plain bowls. No sad diet food. Done.
