    Or.. Just plain! I like to mix chili with it, a spoon of chili and a spoon of cottage cheese. Or stew. Also great in any tomato sauce based dishes

    Exactly the same but without the chia seeds.

    Or I'll mix in some cinnamon and splenda.

    I use it like a salad dressing - so chicken, cherry tomatoes and leaves of some sort...

    I like it for a light breakfast - cottage cheese spread on ryvita crackers with cherry tomatoes on top.

    1/4 cup cottage cheese with egg whites for breakfast. Makes a creamy scramble and I add some veggies to it, too. Very filling and stays with you all morning!

    All great ideas thank you! Do y'all get fat free or full/low fat? I don't really know anything about what is best in regard to that.

    Sweet - usually fruit, fruit preserve, prunes or protein powder
    Savoury - salsa, chili, chives, tuna, chicken, turkey, chopped veggies, tomatoes and watercress. I also add seasoning such as ranch and use as a dip.

    I like garlic powder, pepper and a little salt. I usually do low fat because cows milk has a lot of saturated fat (a bad fat) and I am trying not to eat too much of them.

    It depends on your calorie/macro needs. If you're not getting enough fat from other sources, go regular. I've found the low-fat version (2%) is the best mix of calories/macros/taste for me.

    I get the 1% just because I like to save my fat calories for other things. Cottage cheese on a baked sweet potato with black beans and salsa is a great and not too heavy dinner.

    I love to take 3/4-1 cup of cottage cheese + 1 scoop of a good tasting vanilla protein (I prefer PEScience) + 1/2 cup crushed pineapple. Mix it all together and eat right away or refrigerate overnight. Sweet, creamy, and full of protein. It's a great post-workout snack/meal too.

    Lately for protein boost been mixing Fat free cottage cheese w/Chobani Lemon yogurt & a dab of my homemade sour cherry jam. Very filling. Hits the protein (24gm) & takes care of the sweet, too. (I eat fat free CC cuz I'd rather eat salmon or butter for my fats).
