    Love cottage cheese! I eat mine with strawberries and cantaloupe & sprinkle chia seeds or flax seeds on top. Very healthy snack/breakfast! Great post workout.

    :tongue: I can't eat it by itself either. I have to add some grapes, pinapple, peaches, pears or melon to it.

    I don't. I hate that stuff. Maybe mixed in with other things it would be OK. I've seen some recipes for protein shakes that use cottage cheese in them.

    I eat it all by itself with a spoon. Actually just had some for breakfast... yum!

    Its easy to eat because it is delightfully delicious with any combination of foods including fruit, salads, meat, or by itself. I love cottage cheese, and am not afraid to say it!

    It is very high in sodium, but great on protein. Good with fruit, if your not a fan, you can use it to replace ricotta cheese in most recipes. Mixing it with fruit also helps. I've tried the low or no sodium kinds and it yucky.

    Kroger has pico de gallo. Mix that into the cottage cheese and eat with some crackers. Holy snap yum.

    I love cottage cheese!.. only the small curd. I put a little in a bowl & sprinkle a little seasoned salt on it (I'm addicted to salt, I know.. bad). I do not like fruit in my cottage cheese!!

    Buy full strength (4% fat). In my opinion (or in my area) store brands taste far better than the name brands.
    I eat it straight. Tasty and filling.

    I don't eat it. I bought some the other day and tried it for the first time in 20 years. It is still disgusting! I'd rather have a tiny amount of low fat cheddar that lashings of that stuff.

    I haven't been able to get a spoonful of it to my mouth. I want to, so bad. But it looks so nauseating.

    Agreed. We get the 4% from Trader Joe's and it's delicious ... I personally like large curd, but my wife can't stand it ... yet she loves small curd ... I don't get it ... I'm fine either way as I just really like the stuff!

    I don't eat it. It's got too much sodium for me. I would eat the lower sodium kind but it's very hard to find.

    I've heard so much about cottage cheese and I bought it and its salty and chunky. Why do so many people like this? Do you eat it with a spoon like that?:smile:

    LMAO, w/ a spoon! But seriously, it's delicious! I get the small single serving cups in 2% small curd. I eat it in salads, with a sandwich as a side instead of chips, I also like to take tomatoes with light salt and pepper and eat it with cottage cheese! Sometimes I just eat it straight :) yum

    I don't, the texture is too revolting.
