Why is my cottage cheese pizza bowl watery?

Some cottage cheeses contain more liquid. To fix this, simply drain or press it through a fine mesh sieve before adding toppings. Use full-fat or whipped cottage cheese for a thicker texture.

How many calories are in a cottage cheese pizza bowl?

It depends on toppings, but most bowls range between 300–400 calories. Stick to lean protein and low-fat cheese to keep it light.

Is it okay to eat cold?

Totally. That’s the point! This pizza bowl is made to be eaten cold think of it like a savory yogurt bowl with pizza flavor. Trust me, it works.

What is the healthiest cottage cheese?
