Cottage Cheese Berry Bowl Best Foods to Eat on GLP-1
On Wegovy or Mounjaro, cottage cheese is one of the most underrated GLP-1 friendly proteins — delivering 25g of protein per cup with a creamy texture that is gentle on a sensitive stomach. Unlike Greek yogurt, cottage cheese is higher in casein protein, which digests slowly for sustained amino acid release during GLP-1 weight loss. Avoid flavored cottage cheese with added sugar, store-bought fruit dips, and sweet cream cheese spreads that spike blood sugar despite your medication. This simple bowl maximizes protein density per bite.
