Actually, cottage cheese is both. Dairy and protein are not mutually exclusive. Protein/fat/carbs are the 3 types of nutrients; dairy/grains/meats, etc. are types of foods that fall into nutrient categories. So you get good lean protein from cottage cheese, but it's dairy, so you also get the bonus of calcium. Hope this helps!
Mix Cottage Cheese And Yogurt Together. Cottage cheese is another good source of protein and will also supply your kids with a good dose of calcium. Since most kids won't eat cottage cheese straight, mix it with their favorite flavored yogurt. This will add more flavor and also increase the protein content. Each half cup of cottage cheese will contain about 16 grams of protein while each half cup of yogurt should contain 4-6 grams of protein.
