A new TikTok trend of baking cottage cheese in the oven has become increasingly popular. Bakers and dietitians weighed in on the pros and cons of the viral hack.
Protein, protein and more protein: This seems to be the latest health and wellness trend on social media. And some TikTok creators have found what they consider next best way to implement more protein into people's diets. TikTokers are taking cottage cheese and baking it in the oven. Hundreds of videos pop up when searching for 'baked cottage cheese' on the social media app as users try out the new trend for themselves.
People are always looking for delicious ways to boost their protein intake, and cottage cheese has recently become incredibly popular,' she said. With over 760,000 Instagram followers, McCrary shared a baked cottage cheese recipe with her audience that packs 37 grams of protein into the serving. 'Versatile and delicious, you can use it as a wrap or even as a pizza crust. It’s also an excellent choice for those following a low-carb lifestyle,' she said.
The recipe she created, with inspiration from others, has a few more ingredients — including one cup of cottage cheese, two eggs, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon onion powder and 1 ½ teaspoons of Italian seasoning. McCrary uses a blender or food processor to blend the ingredients before lining a baking pan with parchment paper and pouring the cheese evenly on the pan.
While low-carb diets have been popular for a few decades now in one form or another, carbohydrates are a necessary piece of a balanced diet,' she said. 'You can do that with cottage cheese?!?' She noted that if people looking to make this new trendy food item are very active and exercising a lot, then taking out tortillas, bread, wraps and other carbs from the diet may lead people to 'overconsume protein and fall short of other nutrients.
