Creamy Alfredo does not have to wreck your calories.
In this HEB grocery store video, I’m showing you exactly what to buy to make an easy low fat, high protein sausage Alfredo packed with veggies, flavor, and simple ingredients that fit real life. This is the kind of meal that helps you stay ready when you want comfort food but still want to hit your protein goals.
I use lower-fat chicken sausage instead of regular beef sausage because each link is only 80 calories with 12g of protein, then I add asparagus, mushrooms, a low-fat Alfredo sauce, and an easy cottage cheese protein hack to bump the sauce up even more.
You can make this with protein pasta, cauliflower rice, lettuce wraps, or just keep it simple with chicken sausage, sauce, and veggies.
The key is staying ready. I always keep protein options like chicken and beef stocked so I’m not trying to figure everything out when I’m hungry. Keep the right food in the house, and staying on track gets a lot easier.

Why These Ingredients Work👇
Chicken sausage:
A great option when you want sausage flavor with lower fat, lower calories, and solid protein compared to many regular beef sausage options.
Asparagus:
Asparagus is low in calories and adds volume, fiber, and nutrients. A ½ cup serving of cooked asparagus is about 20 calories, has around 1.8g fiber, and provides vitamin K.
Mushrooms:
Mushrooms add a lot of flavor and volume without adding many calories. They also bring nutrients like potassium, riboflavin, niacin, selenium, and copper.
Cottage cheese:
This is the sneaky protein hack. Blend or mix 1 serving into the Alfredo sauce to make it creamier and add around 13–19g extra protein depending on the brand.
Directions:👇
Slice the chicken sausage into bite-size pieces.
Cook the sausage in a pan until browned and heated through.
Add asparagus and mushrooms to the pan.
Cook until the veggies soften but still have texture.
Add your low-fat Alfredo sauce.
Mix in 1 serving of cottage cheese to boost the protein.
Stir everything together until creamy and heated through.
Serve with protein pasta, cauliflower rice, lettuce wraps, or just enjoy it with the sausage and veggies.
