    I mix them both together.

    Do tell. Do you add anything?

    I make a chocolate pudding type dessert.

    100g Greek yogurt
    100g cottage cheese
    30g chocolate/peanut butter protein powder

    I also sometimes make a chia pudding and spoon some cottage cheese over the top.

    Chocolate Halotop ice cream mixed with cottage cheese is delish too.

    thanks for the responses... was curious to your take.

    semi off topic, is taking probiotic pills even necessary when eating greek yogurt?

    I don't rely on yogurt for probiotics, I'm not sure how many are left or even all dead by the time it makes it to my bowl. I take a separate probiotic with 25 billion cfu's.

    The science is still in early days on probiotics. Is one probiotic 'better' than another? That depends on who's got one for sale. Is it better to eat prebiotics which promote the development of beneficial bacteria in the colon, or to eat probiotics which must traverse the highly acidic stomach before getting to the colon?

    Neither taking probiotic pills nor eating yogurt is necessary. Both are optional. I started fermenting milk into kefir last year hoping to provide a calcium source to my lactose-intolerant daughter. Only after that did I start reading about supposed probiotic benefits of fermented foods. Indeed, I have been fermenting milk, vegetables, and now tea for several months and have no miraculous cures to report. I like the taste of some things I have with kefir. I like the taste of kimchi on my steamed vegetables. I like the taste and macros of yogurt and the many ways it can be combined with other things in interesting dishes. I'm still not sure if I'm going to like anything I do with kombucha.

    If you get plain Greek yogurt is it any higher in sugar? And no salt added cottage cheese isn't very high in sodium.

    I keep both on hand and eat what I feel like.

    That part
