So I just tried cottage cheese for the first time with apple slices which was okay at first but eventually it was hard to eat. Any suggestions to make cottage cheese taste better?!

    I have the same response from cottage cheese. Something about it gets my gag reflex after a few bites and I don't usually have any problem eating things that taste iffy.

    Maybe try some sugar-free maple syrup and chopped nuts. Mmmm...

    Mixed berries, sliced peaches, pineapple tidbits, and those little mixed fruit cups are all good over cottage cheese. I like the Lactaid brand .

    Try the cottage cheese doubles. They are wonderful.

    I hate cottage cheese. The only way I can eat it is:

    Mix 1/2 cup cottage cheese with 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp almond extract. Stir in 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (I use Greek); top with 1 cup berries of your choice (I use strawberries). This is just over 200 calories and full of protein... DELISH!

    You really have to find the right brand. For example, I can't stand Daisy or Dean, but I love Prairie Farm. At least that would be my advice.

    Sounds yummy (except my patriotic duty as a Canadian would be to use real maple syrup :laugh: )

    Cottage cheese is definitely an acquired taste. I also like to just put some on a green salad with a little black pepper.

    You can buy cottage cheese with pineapple in it in England,which is nice. There's also an onion and chives version. I never eat much of it though, just as part of a salad.

    I have it with raisins, banana and/or nuts. But then again, I love cottage cheese.

    The only time I eat cottage cheese, is if I have jacket potatoes (large potato cooked in its skin in the oven for anybody not familiar with that term).

    It is quite tasty on those.

    I forgot about that, yes that is very tasty - too tasty for me though, I end up eating it all LOL

    I like it with applesauce. I love cottage cheese though, so the taste doesn't bother me too much.

    I love cottage cheese, tasty and more protein than yogurt. I blend it into my protein shake in the morning; cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder and strawberries. Yummy!

    I love Dairy Gold 2% cottage cheese and I mix in a little strawberry jam with it.
