This High Protein Cottage Cheese Macaroni was shockingly delicious. It's packed with protein and so flavorful. If you struggle to meet protein goals, this is a great meal that I usually like to pair with a side salad or some veggies.
Since my High Protein Chicken Alfredo was such a hit last week, I decided to follow up with some high protein mac and cheese. I can't take the credit though. I got this recipe from @Stealth_Health_Life on TikTok.
Like any recipe, it's completely customizable! You can add in veggies, additional protein like chicken, more or less cheese sauce and top with hot sauce or breadcrumbs. Just keep in mind that macros will change. It's very low calorie so it gives you room to add in what you like. Or pair it with a simple side salad and some veggies.
Some other great seasonings to add would be some garlic powder, onion powder and a little paprika.
Have you tried hot dogs in mac and cheese before? That would add in about 5g of protein and it's delicious. Try some canned chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy way. It'd also be great with shrimp or steak.
In a sauce pan, add cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan, cheddar powder, milk, salt and pepper. Cook on medium to low for a few minutes.
Next, transfer your ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
Cook your noodles according to box.
Combine cheese sauce and noodles and ENJOY!
