Cottage Cheese Snack Recipes: Protein Balls, Dips & More

Cottage cheese snacks solve the eternal dilemma of finding portable, protein-rich options that actually taste good. Our cottage cheese protein balls—made by combining blended cottage cheese with oats, nut butter, and mix-ins like chocolate chips or dried fruit—deliver 8-12 grams of protein per ball and keep in the fridge for up to a week. For a seasonal twist, try the peppermint bark protein balls.

Cottage cheese dips and spreads are another category worth exploring. Our vegan cottage cheese dip proves that even plant-based versions deliver outstanding flavor. Blended with roasted garlic and herbs, cottage cheese becomes a high-protein party dip that nobody will guess is made from cottage cheese. Serve with vegetables, crackers, or our flatbread for easy protein at every snack.

For quick cottage cheese snacks that require zero preparation, simply top a bowl of cottage cheese with your favorite combinations: honey and walnuts, everything bagel seasoning, hot honey and crushed red pepper, or peanut butter and banana slices. Check out our sweet potato bites for a more substantial snack option. Download the free starter pack for our top five recipes in a printable PDF.
