    My favorite cottage cheese is Simply Kraft - Low Fat Cottage Cheese 2% Milk Fat Small Curd, 1/2 cup (122g) . I have tried the fat free but it tastes horrible. This one I can eat plain and it tastes great to me. I add nothing to it. I eat it with celery. Instead of using a fork or spoon, I scoop it out of the dish with the celery.

    In my protein shakes!!! It gets blended up & you don't know it's there... Check out www.dashingdish.com for recipes-they are delicious!!! I also use it recipes, like chicken salad instead of mayo (you blend it up there too, got that from tosca reno's eat clean diet)

    Instead of yogurt in the morning I have 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese with some chopped strawberries/fruit and 1/3 cup of bran buds. Some days I just op for the cottage cheese and bran buds. I feel full until lunch time.

    Yes, I buy low sodium cottage cheese which BTW is bland without the salt, so I add Chia Seeds 1tablespoon, or Hemp Hearts 1 tablespoon and a little Stevia, and I love it. Sometimes I but half and half of chia and hemp hearts. Love it, have it every afternoon.

    Sweet? with pineapple or peaches.

    Savory? with smoked paprika or lemon pepper.

    Smoked paprika is my favorite! :smokin:

    I love Lidl Light cottage cheese (74 cals per 100g and 13g protein).

    Plain with lots of paprika is ace but I'm also one of those people who love it with pasta or put it on straight to wok noodles - yum!

    It's a great savoury pancake filling and the oatcake and cottage cheese pancakes are brill too.

    I've never thought of most of the sweet versions on here so might have to be brave and give that a go, I love cinnamon but never thought of putting it on cottage cheese before!

    I just watched a cooking show that recommended adding a little lemon juice to cottage cheese and blending it together and using as a substitute for sour cream. I tried it and it really tastes similar and is a much better alternative to using sour cream.

    I've also seen recommendations of using cottage cheese in smoothies, but haven't tried that yet.

    I checked a few pages of comments and did not see this suggestion: Breakstone 2% fat cottage cheese and apple butter.

    Mussleman's Apple Butter - Apple Butter, 1 Tbsp (17g) 30 calories, 8 carbs, 0 fat, 0 protein, 0 sodium, 6 sugar

    I also eat cottage cheese with Costco grapefruit packed in natural juice (in cups) or about 4 sliced strawberries.

    One trick is to turn cottage cheese container up side down in refrigerator to keep cottage cheese longer.

    Love it on a lightly buttered English muffin. Or with fruit (peaches, pineapple, pears). Or on a lettuce salad. Or just plain with a spoon!

    I make an egg bake that includes cottage cheese. Mix beaten eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, cooked veggies, and some ham/bacon/sausage together and bake! YUM! Protein loaded breakfast on the go. I even made them in muffin tins this time for something even easier to grab and go.

    I usually just eat it plain, but I also like to add a little pico de gallo or salsa.

    With tomatoes and fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and a touch of salt and pepper. Cottage cheese caprese = yummy!

    I eat cottage cheese a couple different ways:
    1) I will cut up a green onion and mix it with the cottage cheese.
    2) I cut up green onion and tomato and mix it with lemon juice and cilantro. Then I eat it along with the cottage cheese.
    3) Green peppers mixed with the cottage cheese works good also.

    I don't know if I wrote on this thread before or not, but I put a pound of pepper on my cottage cheese. Nothing else. I can't eat it with fruit, it makes me gag.

    I like fruit, applesauce and bacon bits in it. I also like it in a baked potato with salsa.

    I mix it with a Chobani greek yogurt for extra protein, or cut up green apple and sprinkle on some cinnamon

    ^exactly! I am glad I'm not the only one that the fruit/cottage cheese combo makes gag
