If you love pizza but don’t love the carbs (or the crash that comes after), this recipe is about to become your new obsession. It’s cheesy, saucy, packed with flavor, and there’s no crust involved.

Instead, the base is something you probably already have in your fridge: cottage cheese.

When baked, it transforms into a rich, creamy, high protein layer that pairs perfectly with melty mozzarella and your favorite pizza toppings.

High Protein Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl Low Carb Weight Watchers Recipe

The Ingredients

Cottage Cheese: Loaded with protein and low in carbs, cottage cheese helps keep you full longer and supports muscle maintenance.

Rao’s Pizza Sauce: This is a delicious pizza sauce that has no added sugar. It gives you the classic pizza flavor you love.

Parmesan Cheese: It is rich in flavor, so a small amount goes a long way – helping you add taste without a lot of extra calories. It also provides protein and calcium.

Mozzarella Cheese: Adds calcium and protein while giving you that classic, satisfying melt.

Turkey Pepperoni: It has the same taste as regular pepperoni but with less fat. It adds an extra protein boost to the dish, helping you reach that 31g of protein per serving and keeping you fuller longer.

Turkey Sausage: Turkey sausage is typically lower in saturated fat and calories than traditional pork sausage, making it a lighter option for comfort food recipes.
