Easy and Quick Ricotta Bulking Dessert (No Cooking)
In my opinion, a heavily underrated food is ricotta cheese.
This Italian cheese is different from other cheeses as it is made from whey.
Yes, the same whey used to make whey protein powder.
And let me tell you, this is a much better alternative to whey protein powder (if you are bulking, that is).
Not only it’s more nutritious, contains a healthy amount of fat, and gives you more satiety, it tastes extraordinarily delicious!
If you are bulking and need 1100 kcal of sheer goodness you have to try this recipe.
It’s so easy and quick to make that you have no excuses.
You just need a few ingredients, mix them together, no cooking necessary!
I see your mouth watering already 🙂
