Cottage cheese is having a full-blown moment—and for good reason.
This versatile, protein-rich staple isn’t just for old-school diets or ’70s cookbooks anymore. Whether you’re looking to simplify your mornings, sneak in more nutrients, or make smarter swaps in recipes, cottage cheese is a quiet powerhouse.
Here are five reasons it deserves a spot in your cart—and your daily routine.
1. It’s high in protein, low in sugar
A single cup of Good Culture’s 2% cottage cheese packs 28 grams of protein, making it a rockstar for anyone looking to stay full longer or build muscle. No added sugar, no weird stuff—just clean, craveable fuel.
2. It’s a breakfast no-brainer
Tired of eggs? Don’t want another bar? Cottage cheese is your shortcut to a high-protein breakfast in minutes. Top it with berries, swirl in jam, or add to your favorite smoothie—it plays nice with sweet or savory.
3. It’s made with clean and simple ingredients
Our ingredient list is short for a reason. You’ll find real, whole foods – milk, sea salt, and live & active cultures. That’s it. No gums, no weird stuff, just the good stuff.
4. It levels up your recipes
From protein bagels to cottage cheese pancakes, the internet is overflowing with creative ways to use cottage cheese. Try it in dips, sauces, flatbreads, or even desserts for a nutrient boost you’ll actually crave.
5. It’s a true “fridge MVP”
Cottage cheese keeps things simple: it’s affordable, nutrient-dense, and endlessly adaptable. Think of it as the unsung hero of your grocery haul—the one that works harder than it looks.
