    Fresh chives and pepper is my fave but I also like with some drained mandarin oranges on top.

    I LOVE cottage cheese!

    try eating it with fresh blueberries!
    or nuts
    or tomato and some balsamico
    or some smoked turkey
    or with some feta cheese and peppers

    it all depends on what your having it with.

    for breakfast i like fresh fruits
    and for lunch maybe some turkey (or ham) with some boiled eggwhites
    for dinner with some grilled chicken and a sallad.

    you can litterally eat it with everything!
    dont be afraid of trying new things

    I mix mine with Red peppers, Green Olives, and Cheddar cheese (reduced fat). I let it chill for about 15 minutes.

    My favorite is with chopped fresh tomato and black pepper. But it's also good with most fruit or all by itself. Never tried it with chocolate syrup.

    One thing that I tried in cottage cheese that was very very bad was those "Frosting Creations" powder packets. They are intended to go into 'base' frosting cans and flavor the frosting. They are only 10 calories per packet, and I was super excited to try them. I tried cherry- gross. I also tried chocolate almond one. Also very gross.

    I can't stand cottage cheese, but I've been trying to mix it into some things due to the high protein content.

    I recently made some tuna salad that was actually pretty darn good:

    1 Can Tuna
    3/4 Cup Cottage Cheese
    2 tbsp Plain Greek Yogurt
    3 tbsp sweet pickle cubes
    3 tbsp chopped onion
    3 tbsp chopped celery

    Throw it on some whole-grain bread and have yourself a super high-protein sammy!

    I love to put my cottage cheese in the food processor with splenda to taste and a tsp of vanilla extract. Really let it whiz for a few minutes and ta-da! Tastes like cheese cake. Awesome fruit dip or sprinkle it with crushed graham crackers. Mmmm...

    Also, toss hot cooked whole grain pasta with cottage cheese and your fave pesto. So delish! Great for meat free dinner days.

    I am a science nerd so have to add a note on one of the best things for you to eat with it, rather than just taste!

    Cottage Cheese and Blackberries = A Sharper Mind

    Dairy products (and fortified breakfast cereals) are a good source of vitamin B12 which works in conjunction with the folate in berries to break down homocysteine, an amino acid that may play a role in onset of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

    so far I love it with fruit, especially pineapple! I love it plain too... recently I've had it with some cayenne pepper sprinkled on top over an english muffin, OOOHHH and I love eating it with pan seared salmon or with pan seared seasoned chicken <3

    I have heard of and want to try adding salsa or cucumber
