    I use cottage cheese to make a high protein vanilla cheesecake smoothie. You can't taste the cottage cheese, it gets completely smooth and this creation tastes just like cake batter in your cup!

    I'm not that fond of eating it with a spoon, but it works well as a spread - like you would use cream cheese. Look for "smooth" cottage cheese, it's less confronting to start with.
    I like it on whole grain crackers (like Ryvita) topped with tomato and black pepper.

    On a slice of bread, or crackers like Ryvita - with slices of tomato - and lots of pepper - yum!!

    For sure it is an acquired taste! I prefer the small curd. I sprinkle a tiny amount of cinnamon on it and add fresh strawberries or peaches. Its actually pretty good!

    Me.. sometimes when I'm bored and not hungry, I get a spoonful right out of the container.

    it's yummy.

    but it's really good with pineapple or peaches.

    OOh, thank you for the reminder! I used to hate cottage cheese as a young-un. Especially with fruit (I am in the minority on that one, I know). But now I like it, all on it's own. Loving the idea of putting it on the baked potato though :)

    I love it with pineapple rather than by itself. It's so good! They have 100 calorie packs with cottage cheese and pineapple, too.

    I'm a cheese-hater so the odd time I buy it for the sake of protein it's to make Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothies. 1/2 cup ff low sodium cc, 1/2 cup 1% milk, 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 packets of sweetener = awesomeness!

    Nutrition: 204 cals, 342mg sodium, 1g fat, 30g carbs, 20g protein, 6g fiber

    Here's my photo;

    That sounds (and looks) amazing! Definitely trying that..thank you!

    I love it, but I find the low fat kind to be a little thin, so I add a tiny bit of low fat greek yogurt and it makes it taste just like the full fat kind! I like mine on the side of a salad, or sometimes I'll put it in a bowl with salsa and I will dip celery sticks or red pepper strips in it. Sounds weird but it's delish!

    I eat the small curd with pineapples or pears mostly. Occasionally I will get it with pepper. I have a friend that eats it with pepper and ketchup, but I am not bold enough to try that yet.

    REPOST - a high protein vanilla cheesecake smoothie recipe
    Wow! I made a high protein vanilla cheesecake smoothie tonight. It tastes like cake batter. So delicious!!!
    Here's the ingredients and you can easily modify as you like.
    1 cup cottage cheese
    1 cup nonfat milk
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    2 tablespoons sugar free cheesecake pudding mix
    tsp. vanilla extract
    6 ice cubes stevia or whichever sugar substitute you like and add to taste.
    Toss it all in a blender and mix until smooth and thickens.
    Don't worry, the cottage cheese gets all smooth and gives it a cheesecake cake batter taste. This recipe packs 60 grams of protein and about 400 calories. Super yummy and you stay very full.
