    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?

    Over pasta. That's the only other way I know of other than plain.

    I used to HATE it, but with pineapple it's SOOOO yummy!! :) Also, my bf eats it with salt and vinegar chips, which is really good, but I tend to steer clear of chips :P

    today for lunch I mixed 1/2-3/4 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 a cut up chicken breast, 1/2 a tomato and 1/4 of an avocado. Mixed it all together. It was a ton of protein and low calorie.

    As others have said you might have to like it.
    An old WW caserole was broccoli, egg noodles, cottage cheese, low fat cheese - layer in that order - bake until cheese is nice and bubbly...I modify and do steamed veggies and 1/2 cup cottage cheese for breakfast.
    Today I had cottage cheese mixed in my instant grits - don't ask I'm weird but it was a huge yummy treat for me.

    mixing it with applesauce and some cinnamon, blend it/break it to a creamy consistency and use in dishes as a cheese substitue for ricotta, or even as an addition or half and half with yogurt so it has some flavor, you can also mix a crystal light flavor packet in with it to make it have a fun taste, maybe a little water to blend out the flavor crystals through the whole thing

    I eat mine with pepper. My mom eats hers with tomato. A lot of places serve it with pineapple. My mom will use it on salads, too. Maybe try a small amount on a salad and see how it goes. If you really don't like the stuff, then don't eat it.

    Try it with cracker and dollop of your favorite jam. I do this with snacks. It has a bit of the tartness of the cottage cheese and bit of the sweetness of the jam.

    I LOVE cottage cheese. To me it seems like yummy little bits of mozzerella cheese. So good! For breakfast most every morning I have a Breakstone Cottage Cheese double which is three quarters cottage cheese and a quarter of some fruit you can eat separately or mix in. My favorites are the blueberry, peach, and apple cinamin. So yummy and they really fill me up enough with only 100 calories that I can make it through to lunch and use my calories on a meal I enjoy more. :)

    Tomatoes and pepper. MMMMM!

    THIS!!!

    I eat it everyday and never get sick of it. My roomie, on the other hand gets absolutely disgusted when she even looks at it. Says it's like curtled milk. But if you don't like it, why would you force yourself to eat it? Just because it's a "diet" item, doesn't mean that's the only thing you can eat. There are plenty of other items you can eat for the same amount of calories and sometimes even more protein than cottage cheese. Don't torture yourself.

    1 breakfast = 100 g low fat cottage cheese + 1 oz of guacamole = 140 cals. Yummy.
    You get your proteins and good fats.

    I eat it with olive oil (b/c I do need fat in my diet) and salt and pepper. With tomatoes is even yummier. Also, I get the 2% because the nonfat is just blech.

    for more protein, I am now eating Siggi's skyr. 4 oz of cottage cheese has 12g of protein and 90 calories. Siggi's skry comes in 5.3 oz containers, is 100 calories and has 14g of protein. way yummier to eat plain than cottage cheese!

    Sounds weird, but pico de gallo. The store bought type in the deli. Mix it in and it's so good.
    I like the savory type use of cottage cheese, not the sweet. Baked potato is good.
