Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Cottage cheese

  • Whole wheat, high-protein, or low-carb wraps

  • Fresh spinach or lettuce

  • Sliced cucumbers

  • Shredded carrots

  • Cherry tomatoes (halved)

  • Avocado (sliced or mashed)

  • Salt and pepper

  • Optional: red pepper flakes, hummus, Dijon mustard, or hot sauce for extra flavor

Directions

  1. I lay out the wrap and spread a generous layer of cottage cheese down the center.

  2. I season it lightly with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes.

  3. I layer in my veggies—spinach, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and avocado.

  4. I add any extras like hummus or a drizzle of hot sauce if I want a flavor boost.

  5. I fold in the sides, roll it up tightly from the bottom, and slice in half to serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 wrap (about 1 serving). It takes 5–10 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

  • I add cooked chicken, turkey, or hard-boiled egg slices for extra protein.

  • For a Mediterranean twist, I use olives, red onion, and a sprinkle of oregano.

  • I make it spicy with jalapeños and sriracha.

  • I switch out the wrap for large lettuce leaves for a lower-carb option.

Storage/Reheating

I make these wraps fresh for the best texture, especially because cottage cheese can make the wrap soft over time. If prepping ahead, I store the filling separately and assemble just before eating. I don’t recommend reheating—these are best served cold. High-Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps

FAQs

Can I use flavored cottage cheese?

Yes, as long as it pairs well with the other fillings. Savory flavors work best for wraps like this.

What kind of wrap works best?

I usually use whole wheat or high-protein wraps, but spinach or gluten-free wraps work just as well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

For a dairy-free version, I use a plant-based cottage cheese or swap it with hummus or a tofu spread.

Is this good for meal prep?

Yes, if I store the fillings and wraps separately. I assemble the wrap just before eating to avoid sogginess.

How much protein is in one wrap?

Depending on the type of cottage cheese and wrap I use, one wrap can offer around 20–25 grams of protein.

High-Protein Cottage Cheese Wraps are one of my favorite no-fuss meals when I need something fast, filling, and good for me.
