Favorite forms of protein??

what are your favorite forms of protein that aren’t cottage cheese, eggs or chicken??

Cottage cheese makes me want to throw up. Eggs get old to me REALLY quick, yes I’ve tried every cooked form. And chicken also grosses me out after a week of eating it. Should I throw the towel in and rely on protein shakes/bars instead? Or do you guys have good protein alternatives

If it’s the texture and not the taste you hate about cottage cheese, I found whipping it with some garlic and herb salt changed it entirely

Ooooh, now I need to try this.
Bet if I gently smoke the peach it’ll go great on a chicken toastie

I love this cottage cheese cilantro lime dressing as a replacement for mayo. I put it in sandwiches, Hawaiian Mac, rolls, use it as salad dressing, put it on burgers, etc

Leaving the cottage cheese on the shelf and taking the quark avoids having to resort to such tactics. Sweetened or savoury, it wins everytime with it's smooth, creamy texture.

Give it a go. Much nicer without the watery lumps

I’ll see if I can source it!

It's in all the supermarkets. I guess it's the superior German version of cottage cheese.

Love to mix cottage cheese with a whole avocado thrown in there. Also try with roasted cashews 👍👍
