    cheese would add a bit of protein, right?

    It's the only reason I got into cottage cheese. 1 pot has about 26g of protein. I'll eat a pot in one sitting to get my protein in.

    Add your own flavors - fresher and tastier than pre-flavored.

    Also, as a cottage cheese fan, I suggest trying to find one with as few ingredients as possible - a lot of them come full of stabilizers and other stuff. My favorite brands are just milk, cultures, and salt. The ones with wierd additives sometimes taste chalky and "off" to me.

    Oh, I love cottage cheese! I have never tried the already flavored kinds, but you can add sliced peaches, pineapple, strawberries, or most any other kind of fruit. You can also use a little bit in salad instead of dressing.

    For years I thought I hated cottage cheese, but I was wrong.
    Every time I tried Cottage Cheese it was "on a diet" and went for the fat-free stuff.

    So one day I looked at the nutritional info, and decided that even the 4% fat CC still had a really good nutrition to calorie ratio.
    I can go as low and 2% fat CC, but after that I just don't enjoy it at all.

    So I figure,these are my choices:
    1) Eating for optimal nutrition to calorie ratio, but not enjoying it
    2) Eating some that is enjoyable and nutritionally sound, but not perfect.
    3) Giving up entirely and eating like crap, then feeling like crap.

    Cottage cheese is so versatile. It can be added to anything for added protein. From fruit smoothies to savory dishes. If you don't like the taste always start small and work your way up. I love it! I didn't always like it, I remember I first tried it in a smoothie with a frozen banana and spinach and almond milk. You couldn't taste the cottage cheese or the spinach! It also helps to have a blender if you don't like the chunks. I use 4% fat because it's thicker and not as watery. Just a preference I suppose.

    Been a while since I posted my original post but I have decided I am a sweet cottage cheese fan...particularly the ones that have pineapple mixed in with them - delicious on ryvita cracker bread but also nice to go into with a cheeky teaspoon for a wee snack :tongue:
    Also tried plain cottage cheese with honey and had it with a banana which was also very nice :smile:

    I make a cottage cheese salad with shredded carrots, chopped radishes and chopped green onions and mix it all together.
