Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add the yogurt, sour cream, sweetener, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until creamy.
- Pour the mixture into two serving glasses. Serve immediately. Garnish with additional lime zest, a lime wedge, or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Tip
Using the zest of the lime is a fantastic way to add a lot of flavor and no carbs. The zest (the very thin outer green part) has oils that carry a lot of zip. Be sure to avoid the white part of the peel since it is very bitter.
