15 High-Protein Cottage Cheese & Yogurt Arepas
Cottage cheese and thick Greek yogurt are the easiest high-protein bases there are: 12–15 grams a serving, no cooking, and blended smooth they spread like cream cheese. These gluten-free recipes use them both ways — whipped and spread, or scooped and topped with fruit — on a warm arepa. Sweet, savory, breakfast, snack.

How to whip cottage cheese smooth
Blend or food-process cottage cheese for 30–60 seconds until no curds remain — it turns into a thick, glossy spread. Season it: hot honey and everything seasoning for savory, a little maple for sweet. It keeps three days in the fridge, so make a batch and spread it on arepas all week.
