Adding Flavor to Cottage Cheese

Nutrition
21

So I’ve tried suggestions so I’m ready to give some feedback.

Brands:
I tried Friendship 1% and I definitely think it tastes much better than the breakstone. But I still can’t say I like the taste. Still needs help.

Whey Mix:
I mixed 4 oz of Cheese with a 1/3 scoop of ON chocolate whey and once oz of skim milk in the blender. It pretty much splattered all over the inside of the blender. I had to scoop it out with a spoon and it was more tedious than I liked. I didn’t really like the taste. I definitely used to much whey.

Sugar free Jam Mix:
Mixed 4 oz of of Cheese with 1 oz of Polaner sugar free strawberry jam. This was the champ of the group. The mix actually tasted good! Almost as good as yogurt. I can definitely put back a cup of cottage cheese before using this mix. And best of all, its quick and easy.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I’ll probably try the others especially the scrambled egg suggestion. I love fluffy eggs.

Peaches and pineapple taste really good.

Whey powder + peanut butter is an interesting concoction too… can’t say it was ever a favorite of mine though.

23

Taste varies by brand. Even when the nutrient profile is identical some taste awesome and some taste horrible.

24

Frozen Blue Berrys, I had some this morning, tastes great. Add some suger if you want.

25

Try adding some milled flax seeds on it. Adds a little fiber and some flavor.

If you like spicy, fresh black pepper and/or crushed red pepper works good.

26

I like it with avocado and/or tomato.

Personally, I love the taste of cottage cheese - I’ve been known to eat an entire container in one setting.

Try sprinkling some cinnamon or a sugar substitute on top. Maybe that will help you choke it down. [/quote]

Agreed Im in the minority that actually like the taste. But when i wanna mix it up, Splenda or just add some protein powder

28

Fruit, especially berries.
Stevia or Splenda
Nuts
Flavored whey or Casein protein powder
Unsweetened cocoa powder

While I like the taste and, just as importantly, the texture of plain cottage cheese, this is what I have been eating as my pre bed meal for the past several months and have found it be delicious.

Measurements are approximate:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 scoop chocolate MD (or equivalent)
1 tablespoon Peanut butter or Almond Butter

Mix throughly in a bowl and enjoy!

I basically do the same. In my opinion, it tastes even better with vanilla protein powder.

31

I don’t know if this has been suggested yet but I ALWAYS put a health dose of Spiracha hot sauce in mine…mmmmmmmmmmm good!!!

I can eat the whole tub. Looks like a bloody, snotty mess but I’ve found that gaurantees nobody will steel your food from the office fridge.

haha , what an appetizing description.

So many suggestions. I’ll be able to eat a different variation each night. Awesome.

33

1/2 serv. Superfood
3-4 Splenda
1 TBS P-nutty
TBS natural dark coaco&cinnamnon

34

Garlic powder, onion powder and paprika on whole grain crackers.

35

I think it’s nifty with pineapple - my fave. Maybe just natural pinapple juice for you - to reduce the sugar? Peaches are yum, as well. Didn’t like blueberries. Blackberries were nice - fresh off the vine. I think I need the “sour” effect with my cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese is super yum in lasagne.

36

I like adding fruit and a packet of stevia

x2 on your pasta!!

I’ve been eating it almost every night now. The last thing I tried was mixing at 6 oz cup of Danon blended nonfat yogurt with 8oz of Friendship 1% cottage cheese. Tastes good and close to 40G of protein.

My fave prebed snack style method
Cottage cheese + flax meal + chocolate protein powder + natural peanut butter, mix and eat.

A la President Bush
CC+ Ketchup + black pepper

CC+ Apple sauce + cinnamon

You can strain cottage cheese, take out some of the whey and it makes it a soft cheese, almost spreadable consistency.

Use a drinking glass, put in a coffee filter that is held up by attaching it at the rim with a rubberband, or you can put it all in a colander with the coffee filter.

Leave it for at least 12 hours.

Once strained I like adding basil and sundried tomatoes.

also really good is olive tapenade.

If you want sweet, molasses if really good.
