    I have always been a fan of cottage cheese but I find that I prefer to eat it with pears, strawberries, or fruit cocktail.

    Also wanted to mention that I do not like the taste of fat free cottage cheese and instead I buy 1%. Also have had bad luck with off brand stuff so I generally buy Land o Lakes. They have one that has extra protein in it as well.

    One of my family's favorite ways to eat cottage cheese is on a slice of toasted whole grain bread with thick slices of tomato (fresh from the garden) with freshly ground pepper.

    I love it with the foil packs of salmon, so good.

    I had cottage cheese mixed with tuna and avocado yesterday and it was delicious.

    I prefer the higher fat, creamier and more satisfying.

    ugh... I lost the taste for salmon. Actually made me mad that I did

    i dont eat it much
    but i like it just with black pepper
  • I add cocoa powder to mine. 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 tab cocoa powder (I like the dark cocoa), 1 tab stevia or sugar substitute equivalent. Stir till mixed. If the lumpy texture bothers you then put into blender, blend on low until smooth. I don't do this step.

    I have eaten cottage cheese with every fruit readily available and pineapple is by far the best fruit to mix with it.

    I love the taste but if you have a problem with it add Truvia and Strawberries (low glycemic index). also cinnamon. for a change try the Large Curd. It's also good with olives and pita.

    I was packing my lunch and I saw my feta and remembered my favorite way to eat cottage cheese.

    I mix a Tbsp of feta, a serving of sliced kalamata olives, and a tsp of Greek dressing into a half cup of cottage cheese. If you have sun dried tomatoes in olive oil in your fridge, add a very small amount, even some pepperoncini slices are good. I mix it together and let it sit a few minutes so the flavors blend.

    This came about because I was going to make a Greek salad, I put all my ingredients on the counter and when I went to get the romaine lettuce, it was rotten. I decided to mix it with cottage cheese.

    I eat this plain, with pita chips, with light triscuits, or in a salad with romaine and tomatoes.

    I mix mine with vanilla and it tastes like cheesecake.

    So many good ideas. At the moment I only eat it on top of hot oatmeal with some low cal jam.

    im a HUGE cottage cheese fan, but know not all cottage cheeses are the same. some are just so tangy and nasty, then you'll find the perfect one. personally, i think HORIZON is the BEST out there hands down. packed with such much protein, its a great snack. sometimes ill add cashews in it, but mostly i just eat it plain.

    Sounds weird, but if you like hot stuff, add about a half cup of cottage cheese and a can of tuna into a food processor with some hot sauce.
    Buffalo Tuna Dip! Gets me past the cravings for buffalo chicken that I always have.
    I was looking for something savory to do with cottage cheese, and this sounds good to me! Thanks for the idea!

    I love cottage cheese. I eat it plain with cracked black pepper on it. Yummy!

    I like to add cottage cheese to things, rather than the other way around. One of my favorite quick meals is 3/4cup of my 15-bean stew + 1/4cup cottage cheese stirred through. Super filling, super healthy, super quick.

    one of my favourites is cottage cheese mixed with smoked mackerel, cucumber and horseradish + salad on the side makes perfect lunch.
    as a sweet treat i like cottage cheese with fresh apples, cinnamon and honey. or some berries.

    for different texture try cottage cheese from polish product section in asda or tesco. it's thicker, dryer and with small curds.
