The last couple times I have been to the beach this summer, I have made this cottage cheese dip/spread to put in the cooler. It is quite simple to prepare, a nice source of protein, and pairs well with sourdough crackers, sliced cucumbers, and tomatoes.
When buying cottage cheese, if possible look for varieties that have live probiotic cultures, compare nutrition facts labels for sodium content, and read the ingredients looking for simple ingredients (and less unnecessary additives).
