Not all cottage cheese though. It seems the only brand i can stomach is Daisy 2%. I have tried pretty much every brand out there and they all are disgusting lol.

Right now im trying to plow through the rest of this Knudsens low fat .... :sick: :frown: :indifferent:

    Add some cinnamon. I was scared to at first but it was one of the best food choices I've made.

    I LOVE regular knudsen full fat cottage cheese with salt and pepper. And lot's of saltines. I HATE DESPISE CAN'T STAND any other low fat, non fat, brand or anything of cottage cheese will never order it at restaurants or accept it at anyone's house. If I don't see it coming out of that little yellow container, it's not going in my mouth PERIOD. I guess you could say it's a love/hate relationship.

    Try putting a liberal amount of Mrs Dash Tomato Basil Garlic blend on your cottage cheese. Totally changes it and I think it's amazing. It also doesn't add any additional sodium to the cottage cheese.

    Yeah, I don't eat things I don't like either.

    I just can't do it. It's just slightly tangy squishy curds in slime to me :sick:

    Have you tried reduced-fat ricotta cheese? It doesn't have as great a protein:fat ratio, but I find it a LOT more palatable.

    I like the knudsen cottage cheese doubles. 100 calories total for cottage cheese with a healthy dose of strawberry, peach, or blueberry topping. :)

    try adding fruit to it. Sounds weird i know, but it's so good.
    Peaches or pineapple go together with cottage cheese like peanut butter and jelly, trust.

    Scramble it with your eggs, if you eat eggs. You don't really taste it but your eggs will be creamy and delicious.

    I love cottage cheese though, I eat it plain most days.

    fat free plain greek yogurt has similar macros to cottage cheese.

    I hate the texture of cottage cheese so I eat fage 0% instead when cutting. Chobani is so sour by comparison.....

    I mix my cottage cheese with cucumber, tomatoes and 1/2 an avocado. Top with some cracked black pepper and YUM!!! PS...I'm NOT a cottage cheese fan!

    Thankfully, I love cottage cheese. A little pepper and I'm good to go. But I really love it with pineapple or mandarin oranges. Good stuff!

    maybe you need to reread my post. I <3 cottage cheese i am just very brand specific. They were out of what i usually buy so i tried something else and it's disgusting.

    I really don't understand the obsession with people who don't care for cottage cheese forcing themselves to eat it. If you don't like it, there's no reason to try to force yourself to eat it. :huh:

    I used to eat it when I was a child...............cottage cheese over lettuce with fruit on top.

    As an adult, I don't like dairy very much at all. YUCK.

    i wish I did because the fat and protein would be great to have while eating something that seems filling, yet light.

    Maybe it's the texture. If you don't like the large curds, try small, and vice versa.
    If you don't like the liquidiness, try farmer cheese or mexican queso (a white cheese similar to farmer cheese)
    Put a spoonful of marmalade or jam in, or some ripe berries or bananas - they can perk it up.
    I also like making cheese tortellini, and mixing salsa with cottage cheese as a sauce. quite good. better than sour cream!

    Knudsons is wall spackle.

    Daisy 4% is my favorite, and not full of crap like other brands.

    I know this sounds totally weird, but I blend cottage cheese into my fruit smoothies..

    1 cup almond milk
    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1 scoop protein powder
    1 cup mixed fruit/berries
    ice
    1 pkt sevia


    Blend in blender

    You cannot even taste the cottage cheese, but it gives the smoothie such a creamy texture!

    Cottage cheese is icky to me too. Then I discovered greek yogurt-- hallelujah!

    You could try blending it a little with some seasoning (pepper, Mrs. Dash, fresh herbs, etc), that would cut down on the curdiness maybe. Try adding something into it as well like tomato, avocado, chopped black olives, or even pulled chicken or tuna. That would give you even more protein.

    I used to LOVE cottage cheese as a kid - now I think it's gross...it's a texture thing.

    i only like a certain brand, too. The rest of it is...almost inedible. To the poster who said why eat something you don't like...fantastic source of protein and great macro spread. I haven't found anything else that compares.

    Love cottage cheese.. my parents always put a little sugar in mine ... and I gobbled it right up! changed the flavor significantly..

    try mixing in raspberry preserves/jam .. or any jelly you like .. or and a small tsp of sugar to 1/2 cup of the cottage cheese. It's really not so bad once you can sweeten up a little :-)

    Same (about the dry heaving, not the cadaver!)
