How do you eat your cottage cheese?

I'm wanting to get more protein into my diet and a lot of people keep recommending cottage cheese. I've personally never had it. A lot keep saying it tastes good with peaches and other fruits. Does anyone eat it in a savory way? Maybe some crackers?

    I eat it by itself, or with strawberries or bananas

    Usually I only eat it now in a salad if I'm at a place where I can pick and choose what goes on it.

    With a spoon. And with black pepper or plain. Or in a lasagna.

    I guess i'll have to give the fruit idea a go first! I do enjoy peaches :)

    I like Krazy Salt or Tony C's shot over it to give it a savory flair. Salsa is also a good flavoring for it.

    Love mine with fruit, especially pineapple. Have heard others rave about it with tuna, haven't tried that yet.

    I found this recipe recently - 1 Tablespoon flaxseeds, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. I'm not a big cottage cheese fan but I like this. I ate 4 servings this week.

    Glad I am not the only one. Growing up we always used mixed cottage cheese/mozzarella as filler in lasagna (vs ricotta). I think it is so much better. And ricotta mixed with shredded mozzarella and fairly heavily peppered is the only way I like to eat it.

    I like it with nacho cheese Doritos but it probably isn't too healthy that way

    I love it. As the cheese in a cheeseburger with fried onions is my fave. Also have it with a salad, on top of a jacket potato, or straight from the tub.

    Plain or with fruit (strawberries, pear). I'm quite sure I'd enjoy it with about anything though!

    Prefer it with green olives. Sometimes with tomatoes.

    Having it 'savory' is so yum!

    I like to mix tuna (even the canned varieties taste good in this!), cottage cheese (I use dry curd cottage cheese - much lower in sodium and higher in protein than regular cottage cheese), and put avocado. red onion/spices maybe salsa on a large romaine lettuce leaf with some aged balsamic vinegar.

    As a smoothie. Cottage cheese, almond milk, blackberries or raspberries, fresh ginger, raw honey, flax & chia seeds.

    I just found one at Whole Foods with Kalamata Olives and probiotics (called Good Culture) - I LOVE kalamata's in there, there is garlic too. I often add salsa, smoked salmon, capers, and sri racha!

    My favorite way ever is to eat it with sliced black olives and some type of tortilla or baked chip.
