    I only eat it on salads. I'm learning to eat it more. It's suppose to be a belly flatten-er.

    some very good ideas! I like to use it as a dip for ritz or any cracker really with just a little salt and pepper. I also like to chop up some strawberries and blueberries and mix it in about half and half and eat it like yogurt.

    It's two whole tomatoes, 1/2 an avacado, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and a LOT of Tajín seasoning. So freaking good. I eat it a lot in summer.

    you might want to fall OUT OF LOVE...

    NOT THE HIGH FAT CONTENT19% SAT FAT....HIGH SODIUM....LOW FIBER....basically paste

    Amount Per 1 cup, small curd (not packed) (225 g)
    Calories 222
    % Daily Value*
    Total Fat 10 g 15%
    Saturated fat 3.9 g 19%
    Polyunsaturated fat 0.3 g

    Vitamin D 1% Vitamin B-6 5%
    Vitamin B-12 16% Magnesium 4%

    Yeah, protein and calcium suck! So do B vitamins! And all fat MUST be bad, because we all want to lose fat, right?! And omg the sodiums--ANYTHING with sodium is a bad food! We can't possibly eat lower sodium foods throughout the day, pay attention to water or potassium, or read the studies showing that sodium mostly plays a role in someone's health if they've already got an existing issue.

    DAMN THE MAN.

    Uh, yeah, exactly. Why on earth would you consider something with that much protein in that many calories bad? 50% of your daily protein in 222 calories is AWESOME. And fat is necessary for health, too. Yeah, you don't want to get all of it in saturated form, but seriously, I can't understand how you could look at those numbers and think it's a bad thing to eat (the calcium too!) I mean, it's like anything else and you shouldn't eat buckets of it every day (unless it fits in your probably-to-gain-weight goals), but seriously.

    I agree with all of this.

    I'd also like to add that I think that 50g of protein a day is nowhere near enough for a healthy woman. I usually have just under 3x that amount. It fills you up and helps you lose fat and not muscle ladies! UP YOUR PROTEIN! :)

    I love it for breakfast or a snack with cinnamon, berries and toasted chopped nuts. Or, blended with equal amounts of rolled oats and egg white and then cooked like pancakes. So delicious!

    For a lazy person's lasagna fix, I mix it with some tomato sauce and ground pepper and throw it in the microwave.

    I also eat sweet with truvia drops, cacao nibs, and crumbled up protein bar or a bit of cereal. You can also do a few spoonfuls of canned pumpkin and pie spice with cashew or almond flour mixed in with part of it for the taste of crust.

    Cup of cottage cheese, scoop of whey (flavor choice), 1oz of walnuts
    Mix, place in freezer for 20 mins

    Great bedtime snack as the protein is mostly casein, which is slow digesting!
