Whipped Cottage Cheese Veggie Dip (15g Protein)

Savoury snacks are harder to find than sweet ones, especially protein-rich ones. Whipped smooth, cottage cheese becomes a creamy, high-protein dip — about 15g a serving — that pairs with crunchy veg for a light GLP-1 snack that actually fills a gap.

Ingredients

• 200g (¾ cup) cottage cheese
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• 1 tbsp chopped chives or dill
• Salt and black pepper
• Carrot, cucumber and pepper sticks, to serve

Method

1. 1Blend the cottage cheese with the lemon juice and garlic until smooth and whipped.
2. 2Stir through the herbs and season with salt and pepper.
3. 3Serve with the vegetable sticks for dipping.

Tips for GLP-1 appetites

• Whipping the cottage cheese smooths the texture, which is easier to eat if lumpy textures put you off on GLP-1 medication.
• A savoury, protein-rich snack helps when you want something other than yet another sweet protein option.
• Make it ahead and keep covered in the fridge for up to two days.
