    I greatly prefer mine absolutely plain, but as a kid I loved it with cinnamon and sugar sprinkled on top (doesn't need to be much).

    This is a great post. I love these ideas!
    I usually just put dried onions, or fresh chives, and dill in mine.
    Thanks for all the great ideas!

    My dad liked a scoop in the center of a half cantaloupe. We also use it in lasagna and tuna salad. As a kid liked it with sugar sprinkled on top...now more likely to blend it smooth and stir in a ranch dressing seasoning packet to make a veggie dip or baked potato topping, or left plain to make deviled eggs in place of the mayo or plain Greek yogurt. Like it plain too.

    I like to eat muesli with a multi-fruit-juice instead of milk and add a portion of cottage cheese...

    A few options that I tend to combine with cottage cheese:

    * Baked apple slices, cinnamon, almond slices and a drizzle of agave syrup.
    * Pear and raspberries with powdered vanilla
    * Blueberries and cinnamon

    Some really nice ideas here!

    I like cottage cheese with sliced melon, or berries with maple syrup & cinnamon.

    Or honey when I'm out of maple syrup.

    For savoury, I just add salt & pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, maybe peppers.

    I like the sweet with cinnamon and Splenda, or herbed with onion powder, chives and pepper

    Wow, some great suggestions. Never thought about raisins or savory. We have to give it a try. Thanks everyone for sharing.

    Pineapple is yummy with cottage cheese!

    Non sweet favorites of mine are dry roasted edamame or diced cucumbers and dill.

    Love all of these ideas! I am absolutely addicted to cottage cheese with fresh blueberries. I fantasize about it when I am running!
    Will have to try some of these ideas now that blueberries are going out of season.

    I always found the idea of cottage cheese and fruit weird- I hate it with pineapple in like it's sold in the supermarkets here but I finally decided to try it with apple and cinnamon and it was amazing! So I love it with a chopped apple and a fairly decent amount of cinnamon- doesn't need any sweetener. Definitely worth trying! It works so well.

    I'm just now trying to decide which one of these ideas to give a go as a snack! Great thread.

    Good Luck trying to enjoy a sweet addition to cottage cheese, i put chunky coarse red pepper, freshly ground black pepper, hot sauce....never anything sweet. I love CC savory.
    This is true for many foods that i enjoy, savory with a kick or not at all!

    OMG can I just say I just tried to cottage cheese with cocoa and sweetener- utterly amazing and so so delicious!

    Used a couple of tablespoons fat free cottage cheese with a tsp green and blacks cocoa powder and a tsp of sweetner- probably could use a bit less sweetener but so so so yummy!

    This is not the healthiest of versions but I LOVE it!!

    1/2 Cup Lowfat Cottage Cheese
    4 Tablespoons Lowfat Whip Cream
    1/2 a Packet any Flavor Sugar Free Jello

    Mix everything together and refrigerate for a little while! It's sooooo sweet and yummy!! Such a good dessert and it usually makes two servings for me because it's so sweet!! Enjoy!

    It's not sweet, but cucumbers and radishes are really good with cottage cheese, so is black pepper.
    Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers and jalapenos together are even better!
    Try different fruits with a little bit of honey.

    One really good one is adding mango chunks, some coconut butter (or milk), and a can of Del Monte Tropical Fruit in juice (drain the juice off). OMG!

    Or, how about some dried dill, then dip crudites.

    You can add some Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix as well, and dip crudites.

    Or, you can add apple chunks, raisins, cinnamon, honey (or other sweetener), and pecans!

    The opportunities are endless!
