My favorite brand of cottage cheese.
I love Good Culture cottage cheese for a few reasons. First off, it has less net carbs than most brands and that is why I originally bought it. But I loved the flavor – it’s thick and creamy and the curds were not too big. And open reading the packaging I found that it has simple ingredients (nothing artificial) and it has live and active cultures that are good for your digestion.
So that is why I love this cottage cheese brand the best. I do use Daisy brand which is also has less net carbs and I use Aldi’s brand Friendly Farm because I go to Aldi numerous times a week and it’s convenient. So all in all any brand will do in the following recipes but give Good Culture a try and see if you like it better.
Now on to our 17 keto friendly cottage cheese recipes. I hope you like them as much as I do. I also added a bonus recipe for cookie dough overnight oats that use cottage cheese. They are not low carb but they are healthy and a good mix of healthy carbs and protein.
