Earlier this summer Gay Lea unveiled its latest dairy product titled Nordica Smooth. This incredibly tasty snack uses a cottage cheese base combined with sweet flavors like salted caramel and vanilla bean.
This sweet treat resembles the consistency and flavor of a light and fluffy cheesecake. However, unlike the sugar-loaded dessert Nordica Smooth offers a healthier alternative with an extra bonus of protein. The use of high protein within this creamy dairy snack makes for the perfect afternoon energy booster.
Additionally, the high protein count makes the perfect post-gym indulgent to replenish the body with natural energy. Gay Lea's cottage cheese-based product also offers a great addition to smoothies, shakes and can act as a recipe substitute for gluten-intolerant individuals. Originally released in early July, this unique twist on cottage cheese provides consumers with a yogurt alternative.
