These are the super healthy and viral cottage cheese recipes that people are using to help them lose weight.
Cottage cheese is incredibly high in protein, making it a great food for a weight loss or wellness goal. As a Nutritionist, I made quite a few cottage cheese recipes for weight loss during my postpartum 20 pound weight loss journey.
The best part? Cottage cheese can be transformed into so many delicious and satisfying meals in a matter of minutes.
I’m sharing the five best cottage cheese recipes for weight loss. Each of these are easy cottage cheese recipes to satisfy every craving. These cottage cheese recipes will get you excited for your breakfast, lunch, dinner and even dessert!
Cottage Cheese Cookie Dough
I first started making cottage cheese cookie dough as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth during my postpartum weight loss journey without having any refined flours or sugars.
This cottage cheese cookie dough recipe is super high in protein and contains zero added sugar… but still tastes like a sweet treat!
Each serving has 17 grams of complete protein to help fuel your body and shut off hunger.
My top tip when making cottage cheese cookie dough: Look for a low sugar (or zero added sugar) dark chocolate chip brand.
I personally like the brand Lily’s because it tastes great without being loaded with sugar.

Cottage Cheese Toast
If you want the world’s fastest warm breakfast, here it is!
Cottage cheese toast can be as simple as three ingredients: cottage cheese, toast and fruit.
The longest part of this meal is waiting for the bread to finish getting toasty.
I like to make my cottage cheese toast with either a paleo bread or a real sourdough bread. Both of these are low to medium glycemic load and therefore better for a weight loss goal than traditional bread.
You might also notice from the picture above that I pair my cottage cheese toast with a super tasty, warm “jam”.
I like to make a fast and simple chia jam with frozen fruit (in this case, blueberries) and some chia seeds. This keeps the sugar content low while also sneaking in some helpful fiber.

Cottage Cheese Bowls
This recipe went absolutely viral for me on YouTube, Instagram and Pinterest, even though it’s super simple.
When I ask people why they love this recipe so much, they often say, “it seemed too simple to actually taste good… but then I tried it and was amazed!”
There are endless ways that you can make cottage cheese bowls ranging from sweet to savory.
My recipe that went absolutely viral is a sweet cottage cheese bowl that uses cottage cheese, sautéed frozen blueberries and peanut butter. That’s it!

Cottage Cheese Protein Pancake Bar
I love a good protein pancake, but it’s not always realistic to prep every single morning. So to solve this problem, our cottage cheese breakfast bar recipe was born!
This chocolate cottage cheese breakfast bar can be meal prepped for the entire week. Simply mix and bake the ingredients, then slice it into bars and reheat (or even eat cold!) when you’re ready for brekky.

Growing up, cheesecake was my favorite dessert. As an adult, this healthy high protein cottage cheese cheesecake hits all those same cravings!
Our cottage cheese cheesecake recipe is fall inspired with pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice seasoning. Each serving is also packed with 24 grams of protein, making this a very high protein dessert indeed!
