Macaroni and cheese is an American standby. It’s full of flavor, rich and satisfying, and loved by almost everyone. The problem is that most good recipes overload themselves on dairy and saturated fat - namely in the way of cheese, butter, and cream. Years ago, I was introduced to vegan mac and cheese. Taking my first bite, I was dubious, but I’m forever a convert.
After years of experimenting, I’ve settled on a recipe that’s now become a tradition in my home. In this version, cheese is replaced with nutritional yeast, butter with Smart Balance spread, and cream with veggie broth. And while it’s not exactly like the mac and cheese you’ll remember as a child, it’s just as good - maybe even better.

In order to lose weight, eating low-calorie protein is a must. Protein offers sustained energy, satiates your hunger, and curbs sugar cravings. After you eat a protein-packed food, you feel so satisfied you don’t have the urge to reach for extra bites, and this translates to weight loss. Choosing low-calorie, low-fat protein sources is a must and while Greek yogurt has gained a lot of recognition, don’t leave out the unsung hero of the protein world – cottage cheese. Here are some ways this simple food can help you drop pounds.
Breakfast: High-Protein Addition
You know how after you eat a bagel for breakfast it’s tough to shake that sluggish feeling all morning? Protein has the opposite effect. It offers you energy for hours, so you feel bright-eyed and ready to tackle the day. Eggs and yogurt are popular choices, but for something a little different, whip up a smoothie and you guessed it – add cottage cheese to the blender. For 81 calories, four ounces will add a whopping 14 grams of protein to your glass. The blender will puree the cottage cheese into a smooth consistency, so your taste buds won’t even know it’s in there. Not into smoothies? Enjoy a bowl of cottage cheese topped with fruit for fiber and sweetness, and nuts for even more added protein.
Keep reading to find out two more ways cottage cheese can help with weight loss.

Happy National Grilled Cheese Day! Just because you’re following a healthy diet doesn’t mean you have to skip out on this classic sandwich. Check out these tips on how to make a healthier grilled cheese.
- Start with the right bread: For many of us, grilled cheese meant a slice of American cheese melted between squishy white bread. Now that we’re all grown up, skip overly processed white bread for a whole-grain variety instead. You’ll wind up with more fiber, vitamins, and essential nutrients like magnesium and zinc.
- Not all cheeses are the same: When you’re concerned about your weight, cheese can seem like an off-limits food. Although cheese may deliver in fats, it’s also a great source of bone-building calcium and protein. When building your sandwich, it’s OK to indulge in a full-fat variety, but use a smaller serving - a little goes a long way when it comes to flavorful varieties like Asiago or Parmesan. If you’re worried about cholesterol, look for low-fat or reduced-fat varieties, or choose goat cheese. Compared to cow milk cheese, goat milk cheese contains less fat, less cholesterol, and fewer calories. Whatever you do, steer clear of oily, processed American slices.
- Don’t stop at cheese: Unless you’re a grilled-cheese purist, a sandwich is a great way to sneak fresh veggies into your diet. When making a grilled cheese, consider adding things like red peppers, tomatoes, or arugula. Fruit also works really well when paired with cheese; consider adding some apple or pear slices to your next concoction. Check out this recipe for roasted red pepper, portobello, and smoked gouda grilled cheese.
- Hold the butter: Your sandwich does not need to be slathered in saturated fats, so skip the butter. Instead, try making your grilled cheese on a sandwich press, or lightly spray a sauté pan with your choice of cooking oil.
