Cottage cheese
Let’s not sleep on cottage cheese. This food has somehow been allocated to hospitals and elderly care homes, but individuals of all ages and all stages of life could benefit from this super-affordable, versatile, and nutritious protein source. Though we can fear cheese is high in fat, cottage cheese is actually very low in fat, as well as calories. Meanwhile, one cup of the stuff has just shy of 30 grams of protein, and lots of other nutrients like calcium and vitamin B12. Because its flavor is so mild, it’s easy to mix with other foods, like fresh or canned fruit, oats, honey, and even avocado. You can often find large tubs of cottage cheese that will create several meals, for just a few dollars.
