High protein foods are good for you in a few ways. A high protein diet helps promote muscle growth and retention, helps you feel fuller longer, and can help increase energy levels, and cottage cheese is one of the best sources of protein out there. Friendship Dairies makes a variety of different cottage cheeses, so you can find the high protein snack that’s right for you.
Friendship Dairies Cottage Cheese – The Original High Protein Superfood
Cottage cheese has been around since the mid-1800s. It was the high protein superfood before it was cool. Not only is cottage cheese high in protein, it also has calcium, iron, and vitamin A, and it’s the perfect base for adding in other ingredients to make it a high protein, powerhouse start to the day or a mid-day snack. I eat cottage cheese all the time to help my body get the most from my workouts, and I can tell a difference when I don’t have it for a while.
Friendship Dairies
Have you heard about Friendship Dairies? If you haven’t, here’s the low down. They are a manufacturer of super high quality dairy products, including sour cream, farmer cheese, buttermilk, and cottage cheese. All of their products are delicious and made to the highest standards. They are near and dear to my heart when it comes to cottage cheese. I’ve never had a tastier brand, and Friendship Dairies cottage cheese is a good source of long-lasting energy!
In addition to providing delicious dairy products, Friendship Dairies has a great Superfood Generator. With the Superfood Generator, you can choose up to three mix-ins to help make your cottage cheese even healthier and more delicious. You can choose ingredients from categories like crunchy, and herbs & spice, or you can select foods based on their health benefits, with categories like antioxidant, potassium, or fiber. It’s very cool.
I used #thesuperfoodgenerator to make my own delicious high protein cottage cheese creation. It was extremely easy to do, and it gave me a ton of ideas for mix-ins that I would have never thought of. For example, they have a mix-in option for bee pollen. Pollen! Who knew? Anyway, I chose to mix dark chocolate, strawberries, and almonds into Friendship Dairies’ California cottage cheese, which gave me a mixture high in protein, antioxidants, and heart healthy properties. Oh yeah, and it sounds delicious.

We go through a lot of cottage cheese in our house. I’ll have to swing by their superfood generator and see what I see. Thanks!
That superfood generator sounds fun! I’m off to see what kinds of great stuff I can mix into my yogurt.
What a cool website! I do like having some cottage cheese with lunch. I’d love to learn some great combos!
I need more protein in my diet I have been told. I will have to check this out, my daughter LOVES cottage cheese!
My husband loves cottage cheese. Especially with fruit.
I haven’t ever tried cottage cheese. The texture has always freaked me out, but it sounds awesome. My husband loves it and buys it often!
Friendship Dairies is doing a good service by making cottage cheese even more appealing with add-ins. I’m lucky all the family likes cottage cheese, even though there’s a debate between small and large curds.
Cottage cheese is delicious and full of protein! I try to give it to my kids frequently!
We always like Cottage Cheese with peaches mixed in. Will have to look into this for more ideas!
I haven’t heard of Friendship Dairies until now. I think cottage cheese is a rocking great food though, always. 🙂
I haven’t just eaten cottage cheese before. Maybe if I used your recipe I would since it is a great source of protein.
Never thought about cottage cheese having high protein! So true, though, I’ll need to eat more!
Cottage cheese with fresh fruit is so delicious. I will have to look for Friendship Dairies on my next shopping trip.
It’s a super food? Who knew! I’m glad because my daughter loves this stuff.
I have always loved cottage cheese. Adding fruit to sweeten it or herbs like dill make it even better. This is a great reminder to eat more!
I use to think I didn’t like cottage cheese until I tried it as an adult. I love it with fresh fruit and cinnamon! Thanks for the reminder!
Cottage cheese is something I have never been able to stomach! It looks yummy though!
We like cottage cheese also. Never have heard of them, nut will look now.
