Cottage cheese protein wrap!
1 cup cottage cheese 220g (I use low-fat Good Culture brand for this recipe)
2 eggs
½ teaspoon garlic powder about 1g (or 1 clove garlic)
â…› teaspoon black pepper
filling of choice (I use chicken, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic glaze)
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray to grease it.
Combine cottage cheese, egg whites, garlic powder, and black pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend for 30-40 seconds.
Pour the mixture in a thin layer on the parchment paper and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown, rotating halfway through.
Let it cool for at least 5 minutes and then carefully peel it from the parchment paper. Add your favorite fillings and enjoy!
Hint: Don't forget to spray the parchment paper with oil to make sure the wrap doesn't stick to it.

Cottage cheese wraps are a fantastic choice for those seeking a high-protein, low-carb meal option. Besides being rich in protein, they can be easily customized with various fillings, making them versatile. You can experiment with different proteins like turkey, or vegetarian items like hummus or roasted vegetables. These wraps not only satisfy hunger but also contribute to muscle building and weight management, making them ideal for those on a fitness journey. To enhance flavors, consider adding spices or herbs to the mixture before baking. Plus, with around 40g of protein per serving, these wraps support a balanced diet while keeping carbs in check. Perfect for busy days, they can be prepared in advance and stored for quick lunches or snacks. Enjoy them with a side salad or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra twist!
If someone can tell me the importance of egg whites other than protein why spend time and effort with parchment paper and the oven. Just scramble the egg and add it in with the rest.
