    Never. Or any other kind of dairy. It is not necessary to a healthy diet, and can even be detrimental!

    With cinnamon and sweetener, or no sugar jam mixed in. I add fruit too it. Or I mix it up with some pumpkin puree, a little nutmeg and sweeter with some ice and a little mix and make a smoothie out of it.

    I :heart: Cottage Cheese and eat it almost every day for breakfast.

    I use the 1.5% fat variety (22 Calories for 30g) and Waitrose is the best... IMHO (I'm in the UK)

    I cannot stand anything added to my cottage cheese apart from ground black pepper - sorry, but adding fruit is just wrong on so many levels :sick: :noway:

    I have mine on Ryvita (cracked black pepper variety) with smoked salmon slices or lean smoked ham on top. So delicious and filling :tongue: :love:

    It's nice with a salad too or mixed with prawns and a touch of ketchup for the cocktail sauce effect on a baked potato. :bigsmile:

    I either eat it plain with a little pepper on it or add fruit like pineapple or peaches

    I'm not a huge fan of eating it on its' own.
    I usually by the dry curd version and will either make "pancakes" from it or make a super healthy version of a cheesecake.

    If you want details on how to make them I'll post this info.

    Thanks!

    I can't eat a lot of it plain.
    I like mine mixed with tuna on top of Triscuts or mixed into a salad.
    My favorite is some cottage cheese mixed with salsa on top of Wheat Thins.
    Yum.

    Nobody actually eats COTTAGE CHEESE - you buy it, put it in the fridge and then bin it when it's out of date

    I've just always liked it! Now I have an excuse to eat it a lot! You can add stuff to it, like cinnamon and raisins (really good!), or even a little chocolate or maple syrup. It's always good!

    I like mine simple...just a sprinkle of pepper and a few flakes of crushed red pepper. There's something about eating it with a spoon that just gags me. Don't know why. I gotta use a fork.

    It melts in soups beautifully! Goes great on home made pizzas for the cheese part. If you don't care for the chunks, puree it so it's smooth! We love it on salads also, helps dressings go further!

    I eat it for breakfast with a little shake of salt and pepper on wheat toast believe it or not!

    Ok so from the comments i read:
    1) eat with pineapples or other fruits
    2) with salt and pepper
    3) with lasagna or other cooked foods or salads.

    You all make it sound so good! I will try all of these out and let you all know how it was. THANKS for the ideas and comments!

    I'm a cheese-hater so the odd time I buy it for the sake of protein it's to make Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothies. 1/2 cup ff low sodium cc, 1/2 cup 1% milk, 1 cup strawberries, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 2 packets of sweetener = awesomeness!

    Nutrition: 204 cals, 342mg sodium, 1g fat, 30g carbs, 20g protein, 6g fiber

    Here's my photo;

    I don't, lol

    My mother and sister both love it - they get different kinds with different fruits, and I've tried them all, but no thanks.:noway:

    If you try some suggestions here and you still don't like it, don't sweat it. You don't have to eat it if you don't like it!
