Ranch Cottage Cheese Bowl

Serves: 1 | Prep Time: 5 mins

Ranch dip for lunch? Yes, please! We’re leveling up our lunch game with this Savory Ranch Cottage Cheese Bowl. We mix our CMM Ranch Powder directly into cottage cheese for a high-protein, ultra-creamy base, then pile it high with grilled chicken, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It’s fresh, filling, and completely clean!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cottage cheese (good quality full-fat or 2% works best)

• 1 small chicken breast, grilled and sliced
• ½ cup cucumbers, sliced or diced
• ½ cup tomatoes, sliced or wedged

Instructions:

1. Scoop 2 cups of cottage cheese into a medium lunch bowl.
2. Sprinkle the 1 ½ tablespoons of CMM Ranch Powder over the top.
3. Stir thoroughly until the ranch powder is completely incorporated and the cottage cheese is flavorful and herby.
4. Arrange your sliced grilled chicken, cucumbers, and tomatoes on top of the ranch cottage cheese base.
5. Dig in immediately!
