Health Benefits:
Donna serves this with celery sticks for that extra crunch that’s low in calories. Cottage cheese is an excellent food, high in protein and calcium and low in fat and cholesterol. It’s easily digestible and can be eaten with just about any fruit. It’s a great choice after a strenuous workout to restore your protein levels and give you that extra boost.
