I may be late to the game, I mean how did I not know, I have no idea but apparently ricotta cheese is the perfect protein. This is a dream come true!!!! Spring calls for a new diet, after thr long winter I need to get myself Beach ready!

Cheese the ultimate diet food

well not exactly, but according to BeachBody Ricotta cheese is the ultimate diet food!

Do you like Ricotta? I sure do, I remember sneaking bites while my mom making lasagna. So this news made my day for sure!

Beachbody said that part-skim ricotta has as much protein as 3 eggs, my mind is blown

eating healthy is the ultimate goal!

if I can eat healthy, loose some extra weight and enjoy ricotta, all the better!

How to eat Ricotta?

  • Plain
  • Mixed in noodles
  • In squash rolled up like lasagna
  • A bowl seasoned with sauteed squash on top
  • On a Flatbread as a white pizza
