Girl, you know I don’t play about my Alfredo.
It has to be rich, creamy, and actually filling!

We are using cottage cheese to boost the protein (45g!!!) and it is so smooth you won’t even know.
If you’ve been looking for a high protein meal prep that doesn’t taste like cardboard, this is your sign.
