Whether you're looking for breakfast, a snack or the base of a creamy sauce or spread, cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are both tasty, filling options. But is one actually healthier? And how can you choose between them? Yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt, is a classic healthy breakfast and a go-to snack choice for doctors. But cottage cheese, once a retro favorite, is enjoying a bit of a trendy renaissance and closing in on Greek yogurt's territory.
Both cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are available in non-fat, low-fat and full fat varieties. You can choose whichever variety works best with your individual preferences and health goals.
