Best way to eat cottage cheese
 

What is a good way to choke it down? I tried putting it in tapioca pudding and it wasn't too bad. I know about the functionality of cottage cheese and want to include it in my diet, esp. before bed. The only way I'm eating it now is to take huge spoonfuls and treat it like a shot of whiskey.

It seems as though I am a weird person since I actually really like cottage cheese. Although, in my opinion it all depends on the brand and curd size (I like large) especially when it comes to low fat cottage cheese. Some brands are just disgusting and unedible in my opinion.

One trick I have seen people use is to add some fresh fruit to it. When I have strawberries around I sometimes slice them into my cottage cheese, especially good if you sweeten them up with splenda first to get some extra juice for the cottage cheese. I know most people don't want carbs before bed but I don't think a few strawberries or anything is going to hurt. Other fruits I've heard people using is pineapple, bananas, peaches, and even applesauce.

I've also heard of people making "smoothies" out of it which a found a recipe for:
In a blender combine:

1/2 cup of cottage cheese (low or nonfat)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 cup of milk (low or nonfat)
1 scoop of protein powder (optional)
1 packet of Splenda or sweetner of choice

Yeah I would rather not have the fructose before bed..Now coming froma former cottage cheese hater this is what I do and its pretty good...I add a heavy amount of cinnamon+1 packet of splenda its actually really good IMO so give that a shot.

Actually sleazy thats what almost exactly what I wrote under protein shake recipies. I will do the fruit or protein powder...not both, doesnt sound good. Its been the only way I can eat it. I was wondering if blending it does it make the cottage cheese less effective as a slow digesting protein?

Does anyone have a favorite type or brand? Is there a difference?

I'm eating about 2 cups worth right now. I guess it takes time to get used to because it ain't as bad as when I first tried it a few days ago. I bought the jello tapioca pudding and mixed it in. I just think I had to get rid of that vinegary taste to enjoy it. Thanks for the replies...

I use breakstone (sp?) (sams club)

I dont have much to add as far as add ins, cause I like it, and eat it straight. My buddy used to toast some whole wheat, put a layer of cottage cheese on it, then a little salt and pepper, that isnt bad.

I usually just buy the store brand, Kroger, I dont see much differnece from brand to brand.

Cottage Cheese is MONEY! At least that's what I think. Try it mixed with tuna. I like it with a little fruit (preferably pineapple).

I use Lactaid or whatever its called.

Friendship cottage cheeze is quite good.....no salt ANYKIND is the pits.

I add salad dressings to mine, French, Italian and others is good. I've also used no sugar juices and jellies.

For me it's gotta be knudsen's brand, I like the taste and texture. What I like to do to make it more palatable is mix in a scoop of my favorite vanilla protein and add a packet of Splenda. I kid you not it tastes like cheesecake! This is usually my last meal of the day.

Oh yeah Snachito that reminds me another new thing I have been doing with cottage cheese is adding a little bit of sugar free pudding and a tad of water(unless your brand is runnier then mine)...Tastes awesome!

Sounds interesting Dave, I may have to try that!

0311, where did u buy the tapioca pudding from?

The grocery store. :eek: I use the snack packs brand. I mix one of those small snack packs in with a full serving of cottage cheese.

Tapioca pudding F'in rocks!

Man, it sucks, the stores that I go to dont carry the tapioca pudding, all they have is vanilla, and chocolate(4 0r 5 different kinds) :D

The best way to eat cottege cheese is not to eat it at all. Just looking at the stuff makes we want to puke. To bad too. I know it's a great source of slow digesting protein. Can you say casien shakes.

anything other than with chopsticks is the best way to eat it

You must live high in the Georgian mountains with all the Jesus freaks don't ya... :p

I dont live in the mountains, but very close to the city of atlanta, about 20 miles from my house. You are half right about that jesus freak thing, oh man my cousin is growing up to be the next Benny Hinn or whatever that dudes name is. :D :D Sometime I wish I can be like him, he has no girl troubles whatso ever because he aint got one. He belives Jesus is going to bring his rightful other half in front of him in the future. :p :p

Haha, I think I try too hard to be funny. No problem man, I just responded to those posts today before seeing this post. So dont get me wrong either. As for my title, u spelt it wrong, I am the posthore, not the postwhore, the latter is just for girls who screw around for money. The first word only refers to the one and only apocalypse. :p

Damn! I guess he will always have good 'ol Fistina and her five sisters to tide him over... :D

That's the sad part, he is too godly to be messing around with Fistina and her sisters. He claims that he has never masturbated, me on the other hand probably broke some world records while I was a kid :D

Honestly, for me the best way I've found to eat it is... plain! I actually like the stuff though, not sure why so many people hate it.. think it's the texture for many. It's odd how cottage cheese always seems to start huge threads on bb forums eh. I tried once to mix it with ON vanilla ice cream flavoured protein, for some reason I was convinced it was gonna be just like vanilla ice cream I was so excited.. god it sucked. It ruined both products, just terrible, of course I still ate it but I'm not doing that again, maybe a better flavoured protein would have been better.

For me the best way is to just add blueberries. That's it. Perfect last snack of the day.
