If you're looking for a creamy, tangy spread that’s both brain-healthy and protein-rich, this cottage cheese "cream cheese" is about to become your new favorite staple. By simply blending cottage cheese until smooth, you get the texture of whipped cream cheese with a fraction of the saturated fat — and a major boost in nutrition. It’s perfect on whole grain toast, bagels, or veggie-packed wraps, and serves as a blank canvas for sweet or savory toppings.
