When pursuing healthy weight loss, it’s important to reduce refined carbs, sugar, and processed foods as much as possible. At the same time, maintaining a balanced diet that includes plenty of whole foods is crucial. This doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite indulgences, such as pizza.
In an informative TikTok video, dietitian and content creator @nutritionbabe, who has shed 100 lbs and frequently shares her recipes and experiences, introduced an “amazing” and “perfect” high-protein pizza recipe with cottage cheese that followers are rating a “10/10.”
In the video, @nutritionbabe demonstrated to her followers the process of blending 1 cup of cottage cheese with either 2 eggs or 1/3 cup of egg whites, along with 1/2 teaspoon of oregano. She then placed the mixture in the oven, baking it at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 minutes. Then, “top it with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese” and “broil till toasty.”
She then cut up her pizza into slices and ate them, noting that the meal in total comes to 250 calories and 40 grams of protein. The TikToker captioned her post: “This high protein pizza flatbread is the perfect recipe to kick off your New Years Goals! If you’re lactose intolerant, the lactose free cottage cheese works great in this. If you avoid dairy altogether, your better off ordering @Ilana Meals by @NutritionBabe.”
Fans and followers headed to her comments section to share their thoughts, with one writing that it is a “10/10 pizza” and another noting: “I LOVE THIS RECIPE.” Someone else commented: “looks so yummy.” An additional user was amazed and in disbelief, noting: “there’s no way that’s 250 cals.” The creator wrote: “isn’t that wild!”
When asked if the recipe is safe for diabetics, @nutritionbabe replied: “This Can be amazing for anyone looking to improve their blood sugar control but diabetics in particular should be checking their blood sugars to make sure they don’t run too low.”
