How do you eat your cottage cheese?

Hey everyone!

I plan on incorporating cottage cheese into my diet since it's a good source of protein, and I'm just wondering, how do you eat yours?

Plain cottage cheese is just weird tasting in my opinion, so does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks! :)

    Usually put it on my salad in place of the dressing. Otherwise, I enjoy it with fresh strawberries.

    It's nice with berries, oats and honey - even nicer with oats and Nutella :)

    Mash banana with hands or strawberries (unmashed... duh :D ) + cottage cheese + banana flavored whey protein (10-15 grams) + almond milk +- 30 grams.

    If its a preworkout meal i add dried unsweetened raisins, 30 - 50 grams.

    Sometimes i even add around 70 grams of chopped frozen spinach. But i first have to remember to take it out of the freezer to unfreeze couple of hours before. It doesnt add any flavor really, just gives it texture and some nutrients.

    With avocado and a little salt & pepper. Or with peaches (or other fruit).

    I completely agree that it's weird alone. I eat it every morning with blueberries or strawberries. YUM

    I started putting it in my smoothies! It doesn't have as much tang as greek yogurt and really makes it creamy!

    I usually will do 1 scoop protein, 1 banana, 1/4-1/2 cup cottage cheese (4% fat), and berries. It is fabulous and a TON of protein.

    You can use it on a taco salad to take the place of sour cream or the regular shredded cheese. Even using 4% cottage cheese (which can be hard to find) the calories are way lower than 14% sour cream and 20-30% cheeses.
    I like to make lazy lasagna by mixing cottage cheese into my spaghetti on the plate, topping with a bit of shredded lower fat mozza and broiling in the oven.

    For a cheesecake kind of dessert, mix fresh strawberries or fresh/canned pineapple into it and eat a scoop in a fancy wineglass.

    I like it mixed with some tuna, green beans and sweetcorn. I guess if you like them (I don't) some sweet pepper too.

    I like it on ryvita with slices of tomato and cracked pepper - yummmmmm.

    Also use it in place of cheese sauce when I make lasagna. Tastes really good.

    I don't know why, but I really dig lemon pepper seasoning on it. For sweet, I'll do strawberries or blueberries.

    with fruit. Or in lasagna to cut the ricotta cheese amount.
    My roommate eats it with Italian dressing. Loves it. I can't even imagine. :P

    I put pepper on it. Or if I am at a salad bar, I sprinkle bacon bits on it.

    I hate it with fruit, that's just wrong ;)

    Me too! Recently I've been mixing it, heating in the microwave and dipping homemade baked tortilla chips. Yum!
