View Full Version : Ricotta Cheese Barber Mon, August 8th, 2005, 09:45 AM I've been hooked on fat free ricotta cheese with some splenda and vanilla extract (it has 10g protein, 3g sugar and no fat in a 60 cal/serving). And, it tastes just like canolis. Is this considered a "good" source of protein and are the nutritional values for real? Or, am i eating "junk"? doordude42 Mon, August 8th, 2005, 01:22 PM I've been hooked on fat free ricotta cheese with some splenda and vanilla extract (it has 10g protein, 3g sugar and no fat in a 60 cal/serving).

It sounds like a good alternative to me. PeteBDawg Mon, August 8th, 2005, 03:21 PM What does the ingredient list on the back of the packaging say?

It's a good substitute with a little nicer taste....the lower the moisture content the better it is. http://health.act.gov.au/c/health?a=da&did=10017576&pid=1053858351&sid= It's protein content isn't as beefy but it's not bad. vatechguy Thu, August 11th, 2005, 02:07 PM I've been hooked on fat free ricotta cheese with some splenda and vanilla extract (it has 10g protein, 3g sugar and no fat in a 60 cal/serving).

Like others said - it's basically drier cottage cheese. I could never stand the texture - but tried it for a while.

That's it. Barney Fri, August 12th, 2005, 06:49 AM Ive been eating ricotta for a while now. Mix it with tuna and make a nice sandwich with some decent bread. :tu: Or I make a little lemon creme desert. Made by mixing 100g fat free ricotta cheese with a little sweetener and žtsp each of lemon zest and vanilla extract. Put it in the fridge for a bit. Eat! :drool: EnemytoPandas Thu, August 18th, 2005, 04:01 PM Dopeness. I have to try it one day. Sock Fri, August 26th, 2005, 10:36 AM I picked some up last night and tried this.. a few tablespoons of ricotta with some Splenda. Very tasty! However, I ended up getting the full-fat ricotta. :o |
