I want to like cottage cheese SO bad, such a power food!!! How/what do you eat it with?!
I just bought some Nancy's Organic low fat cottage cheese, it's so packed with Protein and I need this in my diet, being a vegetarian it is very hard to keep my protein / fat / carb ratio where I am happy and feeling prime. Cottage cheese seems like my miracle cheese/yogurt thing....... but today was literally the first bite I've ever taken in my life, I have always refused. What do you recommend? What's your favorite way to indulge on the curds?
What is it about the cottage cheese that you don't like? The taste? Texture? I personally don't mind the taste of it, but I hate the texture, so usually I'll blend it smooth in a blender and mix it with something else like fruit.0 -
First suggestion is to eat it with...a fork.
My mom really tried to the peaches and cottage cheese thing to happen, all served on a neat leaf of iceburg lettuce. I ate around the peaches and dug into the cottage cheese. I haven't touched a peach in something close to 30 years. Cottage cheese, though, yeah I love it. I will eat it plain. Darigold is good, and I also like the Albertsons store brand.
Sounds weird, but I do like it with some black olives or bacon bits. Sometimes a little ranch or blue cheese dressing, or just incorporate it right with a green salad.
I do like the suggestions of mixing it with tuna instead of mayo. Might have to try that with egg salad, along with a bit of horseradish.0 -

it's the confusion that freaks me out.... its like sour cream gone wrong with a super yogurt twist.... but it tastes like cheese.... my mouth just gets confused. thats why the question is 'how do people normally place this in ones diet' after seeing these responses, I think i get it. I get to be creative! I'm really not wanting to go back to yogurt, its something i over indulge in too often!! I like all of these ideas!!! and will definitely try blending it up some!0 -
I eat mine with fresh fruit or sliced tomato & pepper.0
-
Thanks for all the great ideas!0

I have the Cottage Cheese with pineapple and spread it on rice cakes.0
-
I hated it all my life and just came back to it. :-) I love it savory so I'll add some salt/pepper or some hot sauce or salsa to it!0
-
Any kind of fruit, plain, as part of lasagna, or baked ziti, with chopped vegetables, mixed with various flavors for a dip, stuffed into little cherry tomatoes.0
-
eat it with fruits - strawberries, crushed pineapple, strawberry jam. yummy0
-
I put cottage cheese on top of my waffles - add a bit of low sugar syrup and you have a great breakfast!0
-
With Pineapple, crushed or chunks is my FAVORITE.
I have also just sprinkled it with Mrs. Dash or McCormicks Garlic and Red Pepper0 -
I eat it with salsa, which is also low in calories!0
-
i usually eat mine in a 1/2 of a cantaloupe i will scoop out the seeds and then put about a cup of cottage cheese in the center so noms! great breakfast.
me myself not too big on yogurt but looking for more protein i did get greek yogurt and will use it with a bit of honey to dip my apples in as a night snack0 -
I eat cottage cheese almost daily....love it. In the winter, I even put a scoop of it on top of the ProPlan I feed my Labrador Retrievers.
For us humans, It's quick and easy to make a low calorie pancake with it. Here's what I do:
1/3 C cottage cheese
3 TBSP whole wheat flour
1 Egg
Mix together, pour/spread onto a skillet, when bubbles appear, flip once and done. Top with fruit, syrup, nuts, etc...0 -
My favorite way is to mix in a spoonful of low sugar orange marmalade. Yum! Disclaimer: not a good idea if you don't like orange marmalade.
I love orange marmalade, this is a great idea!0 -
Another egg salad idea. Mash 1 hard boiled egg with 1/2 c cottage cheese. Add a little minced onion and pickle. The best part add about 2t pickle juice and mix well. Excellent sandwich filling.0
-
I mix two of my absolute most favoritist things together - cottage cheese and mangos. I also like it with blueberries or strawberries.
One last way I have it is with a Yoplait or other greek yogurt with fruit mixed in. Add granola too.
Enjoy!0 -
My favorite way to eat it is mixed with cinnamon, splenda (or choice of sweetener/sugar) and any type of fruit. It also works really well with recipes that call for tomato sauce. I love adding it as a filler for lasagna or even mixed with eggs in my egg frittata dish.0

I eat cottage cheese almost every day..Fat free kind. (I like Kroger's brand best).
UGH! For what little calories the fat free saves, I gotta go with the 4% small curd myself. And yeah, Kroger brand ROCKS!0
