Benefits

Ricotta is like a cloud in dairy form—light, creamy and oh so versatile. It’s the secret ingredient in so many of my favorite dishes, from lasagna to stuffed pasta shells, and even on toast with honey. My kids love it in pancakes for breakfast and I sneak it into smoothies for a protein boost. Whether savory or sweet, ricotta adds a comforting, luxurious texture that feels a little naughty but is actually good for you. Here are the benefits:

  1. Protein Power: 11g of protein for muscle growth and repair.
  2. Calcium Boost: Good for bones and teeth.
  3. Healthy Fats: Good for energy and cell function.
  4. Vitamin A: Good for eyes and skin.
  5. Low Lactose: Gentle on sensitive stomachs.
