Notes

  • Nutrition facts do not include the bell peppers and pita chips and are based on 2 servings. 
  • If dividing it into 4 servings, it will be half of the nutritional value. So 25g of protein per serving.
  • To keep it low-carb, I suggest serving it with bell peppers or enjoying it as is. 
  • Any cottage cheese will work whether you use full-fat, low-fat, or fat-free.
  • You may blend the cottage before mixing it with the marinara or pizza sauce. 
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave.
  • Add any toppings of your choice. Options are endless.
