What do you mix with cottage cheese?

Hello, my name is Robin. You have to buy Fat Free Cottage Cheese, and you can mix fruit or tomatoes with cottage cheese. Doesn't matter if it's big curd or small curd, just so long as it's fat free.

Who says cottage cheese has to be fat-free??? I use 1-2% and occasionally full-fat and I eat it every day.

It sounds weird, but my favorite way to eat it is heated up with bananas. I take 1 Tbs of real maple syrup and one banana sliced up. I "fry" the banana in the syrup and then put it on top of the warm cottage cheese. It's kind of like a bananas fosters.

Haha yeah I agree. I usually eat fat free because i like the less runny texture but to say you "have to buy fat free CC" is silly.

I enjoy cottage cheese on its own but do like to add frozen berry fruit. It is also really good with cinnamon mixed in, kinda ends up tasting a little like rice pudding

I like it plain

I use the low fat cottage cheese and mix it with one splenda (I know that is not the best choice, but it works for me), one tablespoon of mini chocolate chips and some vanilla extract and then it almost tastes like the inside of a cannoli ! I also add raspberries or strawberries to it and it is really good!

I always eat mine plain. I just add salt and pepper to taste. (: It goes awesome with a whole wheat bagel & low fat cream cheese. Yum!

Tomatoes, fresh basil, a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper (cottage cheese caprese)

Yummm. Great idea! I am going to try this. I like cottage cheese with tomatoes, never thought to add basil, O&V. I might have some of this tonight!

I am just starting in my cottage cheese "journey", so not a lot to offer that hasn't been already. Usually a tsp of honey drizzled on top of the cheese, then add strawberries (and blueberries if I have them). Sometimes I'll add mango (and if it's a honey mango I won't use additional honey).

I started with full fat just to get used to eating the stuff, but have started getting 2% so I can eat more volume and stay full. Not much difference in taste between the 4% and 2%, to me.

Glad to hear lots of great ideas, including savory stuff! Especially love the "caprese" idea

I can't stand cottage cheese, but I make 2 things with it. First of all, a delicious strawberry parfait that's slightly over 200 calories. I take 1/2 cup 1% cottage cheese, mix in 1/4 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp almond extract, then add 1/2 cup vanilla greek yogurt. Stir that together and top with sliced berries.

The other thing, not so healthy, is a jello salad. I use one carton of cottage cheese and mix in part of a package of jello (any flavor, add as much as you want flavor... sugar free is fine to use). Add canned fruit, I like crushed pineapple, a small container of cool whip (again, FF or SF or light varieties are fine), and then you can add marshmallows (which will really push the calorie count up) and/or coconut.

I'm considering getting cottage cheese to mix with fruit for a snack during the day.
What kind do you use and what kind of fruit do you mix with it? I have never bought it before.....

Eeew.. fruit mixed with cottage cheese sounds horrible to me.

I like fat free cottage cheese with salt sprinkled on top.

I do NOT recommend Kraft cottage cheese. It is horrible.

I love chopped tomatoes with mine. Or some shelled sunflower seeds (like on the salad bar) with a couple crushed club crackers. LOVE cottage cheese

*forgot to add the kraft simply cottage cheese I didn't like as much. Different taste. But you may prefer it, to each his own I just wanted you to know it is a bit different.

Cottage cheese is one of my very favorites. Low-fat or fat-free, usually.
Even though I love it plain I like it many ways, including with:
tomatoes
light ranch dressing (just a smidge)
onion powder
celery salt
on a bagel with sliced tomatoes and black pepper
on top of my salad

I like it more as a savory dish, but it's not bad with strawberries and/or fruity preserves.

I dunk stoneground whole wheat crackers in nonfat cottage cheese.

I do NOT recommend Kraft cottage cheese. It is horrible.

I love the Aldi cottage cheese. Their curds are perfect.
