Hi All,

I know cottage cheese is good for hyou and I have tried incorporating into my diet a few times but I just can not get over the taste and the texture.

Theres gotta be something healthy I can mix into it that will change the taste and hide the constancy.

Any thoughts?

    I used to get snack packs that had fruit on the side. I wasn't a big fan of all the varieties but it was relatively good. The fruits included blueberries, peaches and raspberries.

    I used to not like it but I somehow got over it after those snack packs. Now I just eat it plain.

    agreed pineapple makes it sweet so do peaches or strawberry jam.. but as for texture not sure I know I prefer large curd over small to me small is too liquidy

    Here is a recipe I enjoy:
    1 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup pumpkin puree
    1 scoop protein powder
    add pumpkin spice or cinnamon to taste.

    Mix with a food processor or hand blender under smooth.

    I call it pumpkin protein pudding.

    I love pineapples in mine, but it does add calories. The best tasting plain cottage cheese I've ever had was Simply Kraft... even the lowfat variety just has a great flavor compared to other brands. No idea why.

    Savory? Salsa.

    Sweet? Crystal Light mix.

    I like to eat it with apple sauce. I grab a little bit of cottage cheese on my spoon and a little bit of apple sauce. I also like eating it with peach or pear slices.

    I saw a recipe yesterday to mix half cottage cheese and half salsa in the blender and use it as a cracker, chip or veggie dip. I haven't tried it yet but if you like dips it might be worth it.

    Sweet? Crystal Light mix.

    Cottage cheese mixed with Crystal Light sounds like the most disgusting thing since that poop thread

    I love my cottage cheese straight up! But in the summer, I love to eat it with right out of the garden tomatoes. Yum. Yum.

    My favorite!

    Also, dice up an apple and throw it in with a little cinnamon (a DASH) and it is pretty good!

    This might be weird - but green olives and a bit of pepper is my favorite!

    If you don't like cottage cheese, then find something that is good for you that you DO like. If I truly don't like something, I'm not going to eat it just because it's good for me...there are plenty of "good for me" foods that I like to eat. :) I wouldn't stress about it. However, I do think that Hood cottage cheese w/cherries and pineapple is really good. The fruit is already mixed in it, and it's only 110 calories per 1/2 cup.
