Give me your Cottage Cheese snack ideas

[Er0si0n]

I want to start incorporating more Cottage Cheese into my diet. I packed a 1/2 cup in my lunch today and while edible I pretty much had to choke it down.

Do you guys have any snacks to mix it with that make it go down easier?

[Miknal]

Mix it with milk protein powder. Makes it cheaper, tastier, and ups the protein!

[IrishPilot]

I mix mine with some crushed red pepper and some cooked whole wheat rotini. Awesome little pseudo-italian meal.

d4000 gave me this idea:

"Prepare 1 box SF jello into two containers of water (1cup each) and while dissolving put 1/2-1c Cottage cheese in each. Let stiffen in fridge (4hrs). An hour or so before you want to eat one, stir in 1 scoop protein powder (and if you want fruit too you can do that) and put in freezer. "

It's more of a meal, but in my family we actually mix in cottage cheese with spiral noodles to make a sort of mac and cheese. It's delicious, but probably only if you like cottage cheese.

The past few nights I've had this before bed:

1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 tbsp peanut butter
1/2 cup Peanut Butter Crunch cereal

Obviously, you can use a different cereal if you'd like... but man, it is amazing.

i replace all the milk in my cereals with cottage cheese. works best with something in clusters like granola. it's amazing.

[Er0si0n]

Awesome, thanks for the ideas guys. I will definitely be trying some of these in the near future.

Also, try out different brands. They all taste very different. My favorite is the Friendship 1%. There is one by Fiber One that's pretty good but it's got less protein.

I like Cottage cheese with a side of cottage cheese.

Pick a tabasco flavor....mix it up

nutmeg and pineapple and fat free cottage cheese for PWO. mmmmm

Pears and colby jack on top of cottage cheese....

Ms Dash chipotle lime.

Cottage cheese is very versatile, sweet, savory, spicy.

I have never had cottage cheese and am just starting to workout to put on some muscle. Is this stuff high in protein? I've seen all over alot of people eat it.

[saintsparrow]

It may be the perfect food....

But that's another thread.

Very high in protein per serving
Low Fat
Low Carb

I must be the only person that legitimately enjoys cottage cheese. I could eat that shat by the tub full. Occasionally I will get a tub that is a little to watery or chunky and it makes me disappoint

[bejetah]

1 cup cottage cheese
1 tbsp almond butter
handful of almonds
sprinkle some cinnamon over ...
+ add some sort of sweetener if u like it sweet. I myself do not

= heaven in a cup . My favorite dessert ever

[IronOrchid]

Cottage cheese + fresh fruits + oatmeal
Cottage cheese + berries + wheat germ
Cottage cheese + apple sauce + ground flax seed + cinnamon
Cottage cheese + fresh pineapple + dried unsweetened coconut
Cottage cheese + baby carrots

[Alluminum]

Take cottage cheese, mix with peanutbutter, cocoa powder and why and mix. Stick in freezer for like 45 mins and you get a great tasting ice cream kinda thing.

i like it by itself too, but looking for ideas. Ive been using a cup for lunch and a cup for dinners now. its great, easy to prepare! i usually pick up 1/2 dozen of those lil tubs per week. I also get some with pineapples in it, man its good. lil high in carbs but i will eat some for lunch maybe with an egg or egg whites or something.

i like some of these ideas though so will try some!

Im with ya. Sometimes I think I could live on cottage cheese and peanut butter (though Ive never mixed the two yet).

[patouk]

Cottage Cheese + ON Chocolate Casein + Naturally More PB + Walden Farms Chocolate Syrup= Amazing.

[Residual]

I eat mine with rooster sauce.

[mrbaker3]

I love plain cottage cheese. Honestly, my wife tries to put fruit on it, but I just set that aside and eat it seperately. I love the taste and texture of cc all by itself.

[CHM]

I mix a tub of it with a small box of instant sugar free pudding. I blend it up with an electric handmixer and put it in the freezer for 15 min. It reminds me of a cheese cake.

[MikeK46]

2 servings of cottage cheese
add 1/2 scoop of your favorite chocolate whey protein
add 1 tablespoon of hershey unsweetened cocoa
add 2 packets truvia or splenda
mix thoroughly
sprinkle cinnamon on top
throw into the freezer for 1.5 - 2hrs

it will freeze to a nice, thick, frosty consistency and makes for a delicious, refreshing, and nutritious snack that is low carb and has fast & slow digesting protein as well as some fat. i have it pre-workout religiously. and pre-bedtime

[IrishPilot]

Had to come back and post another great one I found. Its nothing original, but its DAMN tasty and relatively low on cals.

200g Cottage Cheese
1/2 pack of sugar free/fat free jello
1-2 cups of water.
Blend. Refridgerate.

Ive had both the chocolate and cheesecake. Damn tasty. With the chocolate I also added some XF Chocolate PB whey and it was fantastic. Im sure adding any good flavored whey will only improve the taste and profile. Also the cals though. The one I did is ~214 cals and 25g protein.

Thanx guys! Its definitely not my favorite food, so i cant wait to try some of your suggestions!!!

[Tito8907]

I usually just have it before bed, which means I eat it plain. I used to put Frank's Red Hot on it, but after about a week of forcing myself to eat it plain, I kind of got used to it and now I actually enjoy it.

[nosix]

CC + Spelnda + Cinnamon = Sooo good!

[nosix]

Thanx guys! Its definitely not my favorite food, so i cant wait to try some of your suggestions!!!

BTW why eat it if you don't like it?
