    I know what you mean... try Kernel seasonings (popcorn seasoning Ranch, etc.) or Mrs. Dash.... it gives it a lil different flavor.

    Okay this sounds weird but it's actually really amazing and taste like ice cream or a milkshake I found the recipe on a blog.


    1/2 cup Low fat cottage cheese
    1 Scoop vanilla protein powder
    3-5 Drops butter or almond extract
    1 tbs Vanilla sugar free instant pudding mix OR 1/2 tsp vanilla extractanilla sugar free instant pudding mix OR 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    3-5 Stevia packets (or sweetener of choice to taste)
    1/2 cup-1cup Water (Alter this according to desired consistency)
    5-10 Ice Cubes (Depending on how thick you like it, use less for a thinner consistency)
    Optional: 1/2 tsp xanthan gum 3
    Sprinkles for topping!

    That sounds great and look at all the protein. I'm going to have to try this as I have some cottage cheese in the fridge now..

    I also love cottage cheese:
    1/2 cup mixed with my greek yogurt (any falvor) & cinnamon
    cottage cheese with tomatoes
    cottage cheese with salsa (this can be used as a dip or as my dressing on a salad)
    cottage cheese with potatoes (potatoes prepared any way you prefer - baked, boiled, mashed)
    cottage cheese and corn - I also used to eat cottage cheese, corn, and mashed potatoes way before KFC marketed it

    I love cottage cheese...I hadn't thought of mixing it with some apple or pumpkin butter- yum! Sometimes when I want a savory snack I'll mix a few tablespoons of cottage cheese with just a bit of low-fat sour cream and some dry ranch dressing mix for a high protein dip for raw veggies.

    YUM!! Just had apple butter with my cottage cheese. I was worried at first as I've NEVER had anything with the cottage cheese except pineapple and tomatoes. lol. Can't wait to have another serving tomorrow... or later, lol!

    I'm going to try this w/out the brown sugar and raisins. I miss my ice cream for a bedtime snack and this might help.
    I have been eating it with cherry tomatoes and basil fresh from the garden and kind of a lot of pepper.
    Oops idk how to copy a post. I'm talking about the "apple cheese danish" one :)

    just because you mentioned missing ice cream im going to give you another recipe, hopefully you see it!1 the ingredients are a bit more particular but it tastes just like ice cream and its such a healthy recovery bed time snack i have it everyday....

    the ingredients are:
    1 scoop of casein protein (i use cookies n cream flavour, ive had with chocolate too which is also good)
    1 TBSP of natural peanut butter OR 2 TBSP PB2
    1 cup almond milk

    mix the ingredients together until its a pudding like consistancy....put it in the freezer for about 30 min... its sooo good!!

    Sorry to hijack your cottage cheese thread haha

    Thanks! I'm excited but I have no idea what casein protein is! Haha. I will google it :)

    I added it to a chickpea spinach oatmeal patty (seasoned of course). Oh and cook/season the oatmeal before mixing snd broiling the patties. Small amt of olive oil mixed in as well.

    The only thing I like on my cottage cheese is black pepper.

    I've tried the whole fruit and cottage cheese thing, and I couldn't do it...it made me gag.

    I like just plain with fruit and putting it on my bake potato. I like some of the ideas here that I'm going to try

    Grain free french toast
    1 egg
    1 heaping tsp of cottage cheese
    1 heaping teaspoon almond flour
    Add a touch fo baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla. Mix & cook in butter or coconut oil like a pancake. Scale up to 2 eggs and some egg whites and end up with 2 big pieces

    This is good for those on low carb diets

    Yes, I use it as a replacement for salad dressing. I also use it as a replacement for sour cream in anything that you like sour cream on, and I like it on any kind of mexican food in place of sour cream and much of the regular cheese. I also like it with tuna and tomatoes and seasoning to taste. I just love cottage cheese. It has many uses.

    Salsa
    Pepper
    Mandarin Oranges (a fruit that tends to get overlooked as an option)

    My FAVORITE addition to cottage cheese is Newman's Pineapple Salsa!!!!
    Actually I add salsa (mild) to so many foods just to "kick it up a notch"
    Example: Eggs, chicken, burgers, baked potato and fish!!!

    1 large tub cottage cheese
    1 small container cool whip
    1 small sugar free jello
    1 cup boiling water
    chopped pecans

    Mix the jello with the boiling water, let cool a little (not set) and mix into the cottage cheese. fold in the cool whip and pecans. Can also add fruit into it if desired

    These are for blueberry pancakes. I also add cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the batter. The carbs, calories, and sugars will be slightly lower for regular pancakes.

    I usually make them into waffles, because I like waffles better, too.

    I cut up fresh garden tomatoes, cucumbers, and a little sweet onion (optional). I add 1/2 c. Cottage cheese and salt and pepper. In the summer I eat this often for a meal when we have so many fresh garden tomatoes and cucumbers.

    I think it can go with pretty much anything. I put some in a baked potato the other night instead of the usual sour cream and butter, and I loved it. Also I've been mixing it in with tuna.

    Oh the baked potato is a great idea! I like to add a scoop to half an avacado ..Yum!

    Tabasco, picante sauce, green chiles or just regular salsa..... to spice it up. Pair it up with some Pita chips, or bake your own tortilla chips for a chip and dip explosion!

    After I read this all I wanted was cottage cheese, but Im at work and I usually just have it plain. Well I looke din my mini fridge to see what I had and there was some Mezzetta Sun Dried tomato (with cilantro, lime and jalapeno) sandwhich spread.

    I put 1.5 tbsp in a cup of CC. OMG SOOOOOO Good, my co worker came and wanted some too. It was really really delicious.
