Whenever we talk about dieting the green leafy vegetable is always in our list. But why green veggie? They have nutritious in them more than anything else. Many people want to stay away from it just because of its taste but FYI it is full of nutrients like vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients (natural chemical found in plant food). And it has a very less calorie.
Cottage cheese contains all the essential amino acids needed for it to qualify as a complete protein. One cup of creamed cottage cheese has 23 grams of protein, which is 41 percent of the recommended daily intake for men and 50 percent for women. And its a great source of Vitamin B-12 .
So in one word this is a very healthy as well as tasty dish.
