Cottage Cheese with Pineapple

Cottage cheese is a mild flavored cheese that is rich in casein, a type of protein known for its slow digestion which means it will make you feel fuller longer. Some people stir clear cottage cheese because of its texture. It comes in small curds and some people don't like that texture. The good news is that you can easily change the texture of cottage cheese and make it into a yogurt-like dip. Cottage cheese with pineapple is an easy snack or breakfast option that packs a lot of protein.
