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
- On a piece of toast (alternative to avocado toast)
