    I generally either just eat it plain or mix some frozen blueberries, mango, or even dry cereal in with it. I've also put it on toast. It's really up to you to be creative and find what you like with it.

    5 ways: I add it to a mixed salad, eat it plain, add pepper, add strawberry jam, or pineapple.

    Can be either sweet or savoury, a bit like natural yoghurt.

    I like it piled onto rice cakes. It's good with slices of cucumber, a grind of black pepper, or studded with blueberries.

    I love chilli so i either put a few drops of tabasco or a chopped chilli! Usually have it with carrots, cucumber and peppers (capsicum). Had it on toast once too, that was pretty good!

    Cottage cheese - yum. Lots of things you can do with it.

    1. Cottage cheese Scramble - 1 egg, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1 chopped up turkey sausage link, 2 tbl skim milk. Whisk together and fry up like scambled eggs.

    2. Mix cottage cheese w/ apple sauce and cinnamon & raisins

    3. Mix cottage cheese with vegetable or onion soup mix and use as a dip with veggies or pita chips.

    4. Mix cottage cheese with low fat sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning, or black beans and serve hot or cold as a mexican dip.

    5. Whip cottage cheese with cocoa and splenda for chocolately mousse. Add a little PB2 (powdered peanut butter). Eat it cold or put it in the freezer for a little while until it gets a more ice creamy like consitency.

    6. Protein pancakes ..... someone has a recipe (uses oats).... I'll have to look for it

    I particularly like the Breakstone's 2% cottage cheese in the 4-pack. I pair mine with tinned, drained mandarin oranges. I've been eating that since I was a little girl, so it doesn't even seem like a "diet food" to me.

    I'm a big fan of black pepper, and now I want to try it with that as well! Good suggestion everyone!

    It can be eaten either way :)

    Savory - my fave is to add sweet chilli and spread on rice cakes or crispbread with cucumber

    Sweet - add a couple of drops of vanilla essence, mix and add fruit. Yum!

    I eat it plain when I crave something savoury; if I'm craving something sweet, I'll mix in a tblsp of jam.

    I buy the snack fruit cup size peaches (no sugar added) add to my cottage cheese. I like the small curd.

    I put it on fresh pears, peaches, or pineapple. Sometime's I'll just eat it by itself though. :)

    I can't stand cottage cheese, the only way I can eat it is in lasagna or blended so the curds no longer exist...it is more of a texture thing for me.

    I like to use cottage cheese as a salad dressing!

    I like it as a savoury rather than a sweet thing. I tend to make a salad and add cottage cheese and olives on top, yummy!
    I like cottage cheese with a number of things including marmite but my friends just think thats just a bit weird :/

    As a kid, I always mixed in canned/ drained peaches or pineapple with some chopped nuts on top.

    I have also had it with cinnamon sugar (or splenda) sprinkled on top.

    Lastly, I have mixed it with jarred salsa and have eaten it with tortilla chips.

    I have also seen but never tried mixing it with diced tomatoes and cucumbers or mixing it with yogurt.
