Ricotta Is The Most Underrated High-Protein Cheese
SHARE

Ricotta cheese is a versatile and delicious dairy product that comes in various forms, including salted, baked, and smoked versions. Made from whey, which is the liquid leftover after making other cheeses, ricotta has been enjoyed since the Bronze Age. While technically not classified as a cheese, ricotta is a mild and creamy byproduct with a light taste.

When it comes to health benefits, ricotta is a standout choice. Compared to most cheeses, ricotta is low in salt and fat, containing only 10% fat, with six percent being saturated. The protein content varies depending on the type of milk used, with whole milk ricotta containing 7 to 8g of protein per 100g, semi-skimmed-milk ricotta containing 8 to 9g, and low-fat or fat-free ricotta containing 10 to 11g. Additionally, ricotta is rich in essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K and calcium, which are important for bone health and blood clotting.

There are numerous benefits to including ricotta in your diet:
– Easily digestible
– Low glycemic index, preventing blood sugar spikes
– Low in fat compared to other fresh cheeses
– Low in calories (140 per 100g)
– Rich in protein for muscle building and recovery
– Beneficial for bone health and blood pressure regulation
– Contains vitamin B12 for metabolism and nervous system health

However, individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid ricotta due to its lactose content.

There are many delicious ways to enjoy ricotta:
– Top with berries, fruit, and nuts for a high-protein breakfast
– Mix with oats for overnight oats
– Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for dessert
– Blend with cocoa and dates for a protein mousse
– Spread on bread or crackers and top with olive oil and tomatoes
– Use in pasta sauces, like the recipe below
