How do you eat cottage cheese?

danigirl1011

I know it's good for you and has a ton of protein and all of that, but i am not a fan. Never have been and have recently been trying very hard to incorporate it into my diet. I know the traditional ways like add some fruit or salt and pepper, but i am looking for a way i can really get into eating it. Any ideas?

Have you ever tried throwing it on a salad? I know, sounds weird, but it's just like adding Parmesan or any other cheese to it. I LOVE Cottage Cheese, but I've stopped eating it since going Primal, but it's actually an acceptable cheat for the Primal lifestyle. I also know that there are a few dips that you can make and use cottage cheese as an alternative over other cheeses. Hope this helps:0)

Blend it in a smoothie, berries, or cocoa powder & splenda

Cook with it - look for protein pancakes or cottage cheese scrambled eggs

I don't....can't stand cottage cheese. Blech!

I eat it with a spoon right out of the container. Yum! But I guess you either like it or you don't.

I love it with fresh fruit, but I also get creative.
-On a rice cake with avocado
-I love dipping cereal in it
-It's great on celery with some garlic
-On crackers
-Mixed with oatmeal

I could pretty much eat the stuff with anything and be completely happy

i eat mine with some cinnamon and truvia but I found this recipe today:

ngredients:
1 cucumber, peeled, halved and seeds scooped out
3/4 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons basil, chopped
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Salt and Pepper - to taste

Peel a cucumber - all the way if you want, or just some. I tend to only peel about half of it. That sounds weird. What I mean is that I only take off about every other half inch of skin on the cucumber. Even that sounds weird. You'll just see in the pictures. Anyway, slice it in half and using a spoon scoop out all the seeds. Think ants on a log when you are doing this.

Mix together the cottage cheese, basil, salt and cilantro and fill the hollowed out area. I topped mine with the cracked pepper.

If I didn't like it, I would not eat it. But I love it. My favorite is with fresh tomato and black pepper, but many fruits are also good with it.

You don't have to eat it if you don't like it!

I've never liked cottage cheese either but here's what I do and I love it: Peel and cut up a cucumber, add a capful of white vinegar, some chopped, fresh dill with salt and lots of pepper. Mix it all up with the cottage cheese and you have a great, protein packed "salad". It's the only way I eat it!

Blend it up with tuna to make a "whip", great for raw veges to dip into. I can't stomach it on its own, the texture grosses me out.

I like it with salt and pepper - but I also like to put a big scoop of it in my salad. Makes up for the lack of taste in the fat free salad dressing for me.

My family members eat it with fruit, but I prefer my fruit without the cottage cheese. I do use cottage cheese in recipes, such as lasagne and German eggs.

I kinda hate that stuff plain. I drop some dried cherries in there. It's pretty good.

A tasty combo I just discovered...low fat cottage cheese with blueberries (10), raspberries (6) and blackberries (6) sprinkled with half a pack or Truvia. So so good!!

lilymae04

Tomatoes and pepper. MMMMM!

^ THIS! sooo good. also, it's actually VERY yummy with plain potato chips (which aren't so healthy, but hey! it's my treat!).

hope516

use it in lasagna in place of ricotta...

awesome with celery

amazing with craisins

good for smoothies

any fruit!!

I eat it as a topping on a baked potato with some salsa. But if you can't stand it, don't force yourself to eat it. There is plenty of food out there that is just as good for you, or better.

OK, it looks really gross ... but I mix a container of light fruit-flavored yogurt into a cup of cottage cheese. Even more protein!!

Pineapple and chocolate chips

When I added the chocolate chips today it reminded me of a cannoli

Place on feeding apparatus (spoon, fork, chopsticks if you're ambitious). Open mouth. Pick up apparatus and move towards open mouth. Insert apparatus. Close mouth. Masticate. Enjoy.

I couldn't eat it either...couldn't stomach the curds...then I found the whipped kind! You should try that it doesn't bother me at all! I actually enjoy it now and have it with either strawberries or pineapple (even with the fruit I couldn't do the curds!!!!!!). I have only seen one brand that makes it...but as long as you see 'whipped' you are golden!
