    I find this needs a little more salt and garlic than the recipe calls for, but it's still really good...

    I love cottage cheese plain. Sadly, a half cup has so much sodium it is a rarer treat for me than eating something loaded with sugars or fats. A half cup is not much cottage cheese, it is a small serving; but that comes with almost 600mg of sodium.

    I make something I call chocage cheese. Basically I put some cottage cheese in a bowl. Add cocoa powder. Add a packet of sweetener. Mix it like crazy. Mouthgasm.
    I do this, but add way more stuff...

    1/2 cup CC
    1/4 cup almond milk
    1 Tbsp cocoa powder
    1/4 pkg FF/SF pudding, any flavour works great (mmmmm cheesecake...)
    70g frozen blueberries or 1 cup of fresh fruit, to your liking

    Freeze for 15-30 minutes.

    For extra volume, you can add 1/2 cup of plain yogurt, or top with some cereal, nuts, granola or whatever you like. If I have a lot of fats left for the day I top with natural PB.

    Protein Brownies:

    Protein pancakes:

    Also great on salad with fresh salsa, nutritional yeast and some balsamic vinegar. Yum! :bigsmile:

    Just had some for my dinner. I like the one with pineapple in. I had it on my Jacket potato with salad.

    Sometimes have it on Rivitas for lunch too. Low calorie and high in protein.

    I like to add some powdered sugar free jell-o to it, maybe add some manderine oranges and/or pineapple, nuts. And if you want even smoother add some cool-whip mixed in with it. very refreshing.

    I love cottage cheese!! I eat with fruit like raspberries, blackberries or strawberries sometimes I add a few almonds for crunchy effect. Or I just eat it plain right out the tub LOL :love:

    The pancakes with oats sounds really nice, but need help with the recipe, we don't have 'cups' as a measure in the uk, do you know how many ounces are in a half cup? Also, has it been named and listed on MFP to add the cals etc? Many thanks, Maz.

    Mix 500g pot with 2 beaten eggs and the kind of vegetable you like suitable for a quiche, onions, mushrooms, peppers.

    Then add to a flan dish and pop in the oven at about 180' for 25 mins or until just turning golden on top. Great warm for a meal or cold as snacks, should make 4 decent portions or 6 snack.

    Really low cal overall.

    500g is a lot of pot for Pot Quiche. Although, this is a lower carb and more protein packed recipe than Pot Brownies.

    About 40g of oats
    125 each of CC and egg whites

    Equal parts of any volumetric measure will yield the same result
