I eat 1/2 c. fat free cottage cheese with 1c. frozen sliced strawberries (thawed) and top it with a tbls. of flax seeds. I probably eat that as a snack 2-3 times a week.0

cottage cheese is a staple - love it and eat it all the time - great source of protein - I get Friendship 1% No Salt Added because the sodium can be high in the regular kinds if you watch that
I will have to look around and see if I can find a no salt variety here in Alberta, Canada. The sodium content is my only complaint!
'no salt added' is different than 'no salt'. Usually companies will offer lower fat varieties of anything but then add more sodium or sugar to compensate the taste.0 -
I sprinkle a little smoke salt on it! Soooooo good!0

All of these are great ideas and sound amazing! I haven't branched too far out with the cottage cheese, either plain or with pineapple for me.0

I treat it like sour cream. I treat sour cream like cheese. I treat cheese like salt. I salt anything that's not sweet. You get the idea... LOL I Cottage Cheese!
So true!! I use cottage cheese as a topper for baked potatoes (w/ Worcestershire)
and sweet potatoes (w/ cinnamon),
I add it to my oatmeal (after it's cooked, makes it cool down faster and creamy!),
I add fruit to it (frozen blueberries w/ cottage cheese delicious, you can also add a little plain yogurt to it).
Add it to smoothies.
I also use it in things where you would use sour cream like chili, mix it salsa for a salad dressing, etc.
You can also make protein pancakes out of it.
1/2 cup of old fashioned oatmeal, 1/2 cup of eggbeaters, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, cinnamon, and 1 tsp. vanilla.
Blend in blender until it's like pancake batter and cook on griddle until done.
Yeah, I buy a LOT of cottage cheese! :bigsmile: It's high in protein, low in fat, and tastes good!0 -
I pretty much eat it every day.
250g with
1.5 tbspns natural peanut butter
1/2 tspn honey
DELISH!
Also,
with avocado and pepper
tuna and whatever spice and lemon (ultimate protein bomb!)
These are my faves.
I also, may mix in some oats if I am looking for some carbs as well.0 -
I add fruit cups to it. Pears in water, peaches in water, pineapple in water (I drain the water before adding the fruit).
Also like to add cinnamon and raisins OR some strawberry (or any flavor you like) jam. Wegmans (if you're in upstate NY) has AWESOME organic jams that are only 25 calories/tbs.

yummy....my mom used to always mix it with canned peaches, but I don't like it with sweet stuff. My fav way to eat it is on a toasted english muffin topped with ground black pepper or HPsauce. COMFORT FOOD BABY!0

I turn mine into kind of a soup- I add milk and then salt and pepper and scoop it up with a spoon. yum!

Mixed into my scrambled eggs or in an egg white omlette.0
