Protein queso is creamy, cheesy, and secretly packed with protein thanks to cottage cheese and a pepperjack Laughing Cow wedge. It melts into a smooth, flavorful dip with a little kick—perfect for satisfying cravings while still supporting your fitness goals.
For this recipe, you will need a blender or a food processor. My favorite is the Kitchen Aid food processor because it’s compact, easy to clean, and easy to store. Check out the price on Amazon.
