    Try adding some raisins and cinnamon powder. Also if you have it with Apple slices this also is nice.

    I'm one of those who loves cottage cheese - always have. I can eat it plain but I also like to add fresh fruit or veggies. It's great with bell pepper (green or red), a bit of Mrs. Dash. It's also good (to me) with seasonings that are salt-free. But I agree with many of the other posters, if you don't like it, you probably won't be satisfied. Good luck finding something that you do like which will satisfy your need for protein while being something you enjoy!

    You don't have to eat cottage cheese. You could have an egg, some chicken, turkey, etc. instead.

    My suggestion would be to not eat foods that you don't like. There is nothing magical about cottage cheese and there are numerous and better protein sources if that's all you're concerned with. I don't touch that nasty curdled up ****...disgusting.

    Am I the only one who smiles at the thought of something 'eatable'?
    I swear, I'm not being facetious, it sounds incredibly cute in my head.

    You can't make it edible, it's disgusting. Only good use for it is in lasagna.
    I love cottage cheese as is. You mean not everyone does?

    I eat cottage cheese every day and I love it! But I hate every brand I've ever tried except for Knudsen 2%. Every other brand I've tried is terrible - sour and just gross tasting. But Knudsen is so good I can eat it plain and I love it.

    I love it best with just a little salt and pepper.

    Just eat something else then. It's not necessary to eat before bed. Just find something else with protein in it that you do like.

    Don't eat foods you don't like. There are so many other sources of protein.

    i mix it with oats, vanilla (or chocolate or chocolate peanut butter) protein powder, banana, chai seeds and jello cheesecake mix. and a teeny bit of milk :~) Yes its' weird.. but it taste like banana cheesecake (or chocolate PB banana) pudding. I've put jam in it too or PB and jam.. although I always find that too sweet.

    Sounds really good. Will have to add this to my meal plan!

    The best thing about cottage cheese is it's low cost/high value. Low in cals for the amount of protein you get, plus satiate-ability! It is also very available. You can get it just about anywhere that sells dairy and you don't have to cook it (like most other proteins).

    Thanks for sharing.

    fruit and/or granola

    chopped cucumber and dill

    agree, the brand makes ALL the DIFF. I had some truly horrific tasting ones. I prefer Horizon 2% organic or Organic Valley 2%.

    I mix in some powdered ranch dip & put that on my salad instead of dressing. I also eat it with fruits. On top of crackers with hot sauce, or mix in a little pistachio (or any flavor) jello powder + pineapple+ whipped topping. Good luck!

    I'm probably just repeating what someone already said, but you should try plain greek yogurt instead. You can put in some fruit, it's good and full of protein without much sugar. :)
