    I love it plain with a bit of salt and pepper. I also love it with any of the following in it:
    tomatoes
    avocado
    carrots and celery (sliced thin)
    potato chips (adds a salt crunch)
    peaches
    pineapple
    kiwi
    apples
    mixed tropical fruit
    cherries
    strawberries
    blueberries


    This recipe is yummy, you may want to season it up more it's a bit bland if you just follow the recipe:

    I haven't tried this one myself, yet, but I really want to:

    Fluffy Pancakes

    2 extra large eggs
    1/4 cup cottage cheese
    2 Tablespoons cream cheese (laughing cow's)That is my idea here.
    pinch of sugar substitute ,
    1 Tablespoon wheat germ
    1Tablespoon rice flour or Wondra
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    pinch of baking soda

    Whip the eggs in a food processor or by hand until frothy. add the cheeses and beat until smooth. Add a little artificial sweetener. Add the rest of the ingredients and pulse to blind. Gently scrape the batter onto the griTddle about 10 pancakes. cook over medium heat until the edges of the cakes are set and large bubbles appear across the surface,about 1 minute. Carefully flip them and cook for half as long as on the first side or until golden. Serve on heated plates, with a drizzle of dietetic maple syrup or berry syrup . per serving 10 grams carbohydrate, 13 grams protein

    I love to chop up an apple and mix it into cottage cheese with a touch of mayo - apple salad, tasty.

    Love it with fruit, and plain. But my FAVORITE is as a base for a blueberry pie smoothie.

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1 full graham cracker
    1/4 -1/2 cup almond milk

    blend it all together (yes the graham cracker too) and enjoy. It really is like drinking a blueberry cream pie.

    I like it with sliced strawberries or cantaulope, or both. It is high in sodium, but I love it. I am a texture person and I like its texture.
