Protein is a buzzword in the world of health and content creators are rather innovative when it comes to ways to get protein into tasty meals and snacks.

Monica Nyman from the St. Louis District Dairy Council reminds March is National Nutrition Month and the superfood - cottage cheese - has become the theme of many meal plans out there these days.

Cottage cheese is one of those foods that has so much protein per serving but Nyman reminds it also packs a great deal of other micronutrients that are so good for us.

Nyman reminds the dairy case at the grocery store has something for everyone. She points out like milk, cottage cheese has several versions and there is likely something there to fit your dietary needs.

stldairycouncil.org has all those recipes, nutrition tips, educational resources, and much more. Nyman notes this month the Dairy Council is also promoting staying nourished on a budget, seeing a registered dietician, and using a variety of foods from all food groups.
