    A great late night snack! The protein is great for a night-time treat since its a slow absorbing protein... I jack mine up with naughty dessert stuff, but you can do whatever you like with it!

    1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese
    2oz almond milk
    1/6 package cheesecake or choc fudge fat free sugar free pudding mix
    1 Tbsp cocoa powder

    Mix thoroughly until everything is combined. Add in 70g of frozen blueberries, or any other frozen fruit, and let sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. It basically freezes and makes a good substitute for ice cream at night. Around 200 calories and tasty delicious.

    Otherwise I have it in protein pancakes, over salad with balsamic vinegar and homemade salsa, or use it in baking and cooking for added protein. Try protein brownies, or adding it to omelets or scrambled eggs. Or use it to make smoothies. The options are endless :wink:

    Add a packet of stevia (or splenda), with either vanilla, a bit of flavor such as almond, banana, orange, cocoa powder, then eat with fruits for breakfast or lunch. You might want to add chia seeds or Skinny B cereal.

    Cottage cheese is one of the few dairy foods i can have. I add fruit, put it on pasta or chili.

    I like to eat cottage cheese either by itself or with some chopped up pineapple or peaches to tide me over when I get home from work.

    i eat fat free cottage cheese in my salads in substitute for dressing :)

    I was going to suggest this because that is what I do.
    I also will use it as a dip substitute for my wheat thins or triscuits. I tend to put a bit of sunflower seeds on mine as well.

    I usually just eat it by itself, but I'd love to spice it up. I'm not a great cook, so I never know what to do! Ideas are much appreciated!
    I mix it with fruit and choke it down.
    Once I reach my goals, me and cottage cheese are done.

    You can even liven it up with salsa or diced cilantro.

    i sometimes substitute cottage cheese in for mayo when making tuna!! add lots of vegetables, pour over salad or just eat by itself...it's so good!

    hi, arent franks a no no when losing weight?
    You can eat anything as long you stay under the calories goal for the day. I often eat ice cream and get yelled at but as long I am under my goal, who cares. right?
