TikTok is Pinterest for the younger generation.
Its where they go for recipes, product recommendations, and tips that will change your life.
TikTok is their Pinterest, and cottage cheese ice cream is their banana ice cream.
If you were on Pinterest during its height of popularity, you likely saw this ice cream.
If you like chocolate-covered frozen bananas, you would probably enjoy it.
I enjoy it myself.
Instead of cutting calories, were adding protein, and people are using cottage cheese to do just that.
Of course, it has a diet food quality to it.
How we talk about food substitutions has shifted as well.
Instead of cutting calories, were adding protein.
And people are using cottage cheese to do just that.
At face value, this is fine.
I alsolovecottage cheese and am delighted to see itgaining popularity.
But we are asking too much of curds and whey.
We want cottage cheese to be everythingfrom breakfast to dessertand often its just not working.
Its almost like this isnt really about getting more protein.
(Also, its not that deep.
The easiest way to add more protein to your scramble without extra fat is to add egg whites.)
Then theres the claim that these eggs come out fluffy and light.
If you want more protein in your eggs, just add another eggor some steak, perhaps.
Then theres the ice cream.
The problem wasnt the flavor.
But that all changed once it was frozen.
If you were craving ice cream and ate this, you would not be happy.
Cottage cheese, served in a bowl, with a little salt and pepper, tastes great.
If you need more protein, eat a bowl of curds and whey.
If you need ice cream, eat some real ice cream.
Youll be much more satisfied in each case, and you wont have to break out the immersion blender.
