About this Recipe
Either you love it or you’re repulsed. Yep, we’re talking about (the texture) of cottage cheese. This high-protein dairy product has a specific texture that you may not appreciate (yet). But we have some good news for you! Although not shown in the picture of this recipe, cottage cheese blends very well. And you don’ t need a fancy blender to get that smoother texture that makes a great base for any dip. This cottage cheese dip with veggie sticks makes the perfect bariatric snack. Why? Because it has both protein and fiber, which are two much needed nutrients post-op.
Now, for this dip we kept it remarkably simple. Wanna see what the scoop is? Scroll down to the recipe below.
