    I like to mix 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with fruit flavored greek yogurt (my favorite is the Chobani Strawberry). It's a great protein packed snack! Some might find it gross, but I actually crave it.

    I love berries of any kind in cottage cheese, but to really sweeten it up and help with the texture maybe get frozen berries and mash the berries and juice into it. I also get low-fat instead of non-fat because low-fat is more solid than non-fat and it's still only around 90 cals for 1/2 cup.

    If you're not into the texture of the curds, you can throw it in the blender and make it creamy -- then use it in place of mayonnaise in pretty much everything. spread on sandwiches or mix in tuna/chicken salad with a little pepper. surprisingly delicious.

    Sweet? Crystal Light mix.
    Cottage cheese mixed with Crystal Light sounds like the most disgusting thing since that poop thread
    I've been known to be facetious, but this one is dead serious. My mother would mix Jello mix with cottage cheese and Cool Whip as a dessert. Mixing in a little fruit-flavored Crystal Light with cottage cheese is fantastic. Adds the sweetness one might be craving, with no additional calories added.

    mix it with garlic powder and black pepper and throw it on a salad. if you need more flavour, use a light dressing like italian. i find you don't need much because the garlic powder adds a lot of flavour!

    Peaches!! Or pretty much any fruit!

    And, for a non-healthy option, add maple syrup. Not even kidding. It makes it so sweet it tastes like ice cream! :)

    I am hooked on fat free cottage cheese with sugar free low cal strawberry preserves and a scoop of either vanilla whey isolate, or vanilla casein protein. Depending on what time of day i make this or if its after a workout. I also love fat free cottage cheese with a table spoon of natural 100% almond butter and rich chocolate whey isolate (i call it Reese's inspired power cottage cheese) all these are fairly low in cals and very high quality protein.

    Add a chilled banana and blend it. It gets rid of the texture and the banana makes it sweeter. It makes a world of difference.

    I actually like cottage cheese, but then I started watching my sodium and decided it had more than I wanted. Now I eat plain Greek yogurt instead, sometimes with a handful of chopped walnuts stirred in. I also used to like to mix the cottage cheese with fruit flavored yogurt to up the protein.

    Cottage Cheese w/ just lots of pepper usually does it for me.
    Cottage cheese w/ half a pear.
    If you eat potatoes doing a baked potato with cottage cheese on it.
    Adding cottage cheese into your lasagna instead of the cheese.
