on-the-go snack series is all about having, healthy, easy to prep snacks that last all week long and this high protein ranch dip is one of my favorites!
I have been on a huge cottage cheese kick lately, so it’s no surprise, i’m sure, that the protein in this dip is from the cottage cheese!
cottage cheese has so many surprising benfits including:
– an excellent source of calcium, and vitamin b12
– blood sugar managment- great alternative for people with type 2 diabetes
– contains cassein protein which is great for muscle recoveryÂ
-health: cottage cheese is an excellent source of selenium, a mineral that plays a big roll in thyroid health.
I think the nutritonal facts speak for itself on this, see them below!
