    I hate it when people do what I'm about to do...which is to answer a question not asked, but...

    Why do you want to choke down cottage cheese if you don't like it? Particularly if its the texture you don't like, what about yogurt? Or a dairy based smoothie?

    Several Reasons:

    I am trying to expand my food options. I am slowly adding things that I considered "gross" to things I eat. For example I used to hate tuna...I ate it for lunch today with rice and enjoyed it. Cottage cheese is very versatile....wanted to see if I can give it another try.

    Do you like the texture of pudding? If so, whip the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and add a few stawberries.
    I was also going to suggest this. I have used my food processor before to blend cottage cheese for a spinach artichoke dip and it worked great! It's more of a sour cream/cream cheese texture that way, and you can use it to substitute for these items as well.

    I mixed it in yogurt!!

    I 2nd this suggestion! For some reason blueberry yogurt is great with cottage cheese.

    Also, I had a can of whole berry cranberry sauce and decided to try it with cottage cheese. It was actually really good, too!

    My question is, why are you trying to force yourself to eat something that you don't like?

    Try PRESSED DRY cottage cheese.. it's not that slimey kind. It's dry and the appearance reminds me of feta in that it crumbles.

    I really like sliced up tomatoes, or grape tomatoes cut in half with heavy pepper in mine.

    I also am not a fan of cottage cheese, but it is absolutely delicious with some cantaloupe, sliced almonds and sliced grapes! And it is so satisfying. I prefer the small curd too, it's much better! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

    I was going to say the same thing ("Why force yourself?") but I do applaud you wanting to expand your food options and give things a second try. I, for one, can't stand fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese, but I LOVE full-fat cottage cheese. Of course, this is pretty much the case for all dairy with me. Fat makes things tasty, so maybe try that if you haven't already? Also, I have found that different brands seem to vary quite a bit in how they taste, so I would try a few different brands.

    Use it as a dip with fresh cut veggies (ie - bell peppers, carrots, celery, etc.). I had it today on top of cucumber rounds with a bit of pepper for a snack.

    Once upon a time I didn't like cottage cheese, mostly for the texture. But after trying it out "one more time" myself, I began to like it. Now I crave it!

    Best wishes!

    Come on guys, lets give her some credit for trying out something healthy. There is no reason to give up on it right away, try mixing things into it like fruit or yogurt. I like mine with a little black pepper or with pineapple. If all of that fails then you can try something different, like greek yogurt.

    I love it plain... or with just about anything. Like tofu, it's sort of bland and takes on the taste of whatever you put with it. But... recently I tried it with some mandarin orange slices and it was GREAT!
