Goat Cheese: A Tangy, Easier-to-Digest Option
For those who struggle with digesting cow’s milk cheeses, goat cheese (or chèvre) can be a great alternative if you still want to indulge in high protein cheeses. Hard varieties contain 7 grams of protein per ounce, while softer, spreadable versions have slightly less at 5-6 grams per ounce. Goat cheese also has a distinctive tangy flavor and a creamy texture, making it perfect for everything from salads to dips. Bonus: It contains lower levels of lactose than many cow’s milk cheeses, making it easier on sensitive stomachs.
