Cottage cheese mix ideas?



Recommended Posts

Hi all, Im 4 weeks out and starting to eat cottage cheese as I've heard it has a good Protein count. Problem is I've never been a fan of cottage cheese and can't seem to eat not even two spoons. I just don't like the taste. Is there anything you guys have mixed into it to give it some flavor?

I like Yellow Mustard on my Cottage cheese. My husband can't believe it, but I always loved it. Even now I will take a piece of ham or turkey meat, put cottage cheese in it with mustard on it and roll it up. If you like yellow mustard it's not bad.

At this moment, I know you can't eat eggs or tomatoes, but that's another way I eat Cottage Cheese. I cut up tomatoes or boiled eggs.< /p>

I know this is not for all people, but I like it.

I love to mix in cinnamon and Splenda for a more sweet take.

You could try just pepper on it.

If you mix cottage cheese with yogurt it makes more of a thicker yogurt. Seems to mask the cottage cheese taste some.

If I'm in the mood for something sweet I like mine with cranberry sauce, but I suspect low sugar jam would have the same effect. I also like it savory blended with tuna. In fact, I have a casserole recipe that's tuna, spinach, cottage cheese, mustard, some herbs and swiss cheese.

I have never liked cottage cheese, but because of the Protein count I forced myself. I add a tad of poppyseed dressing in mine and I love it!

I also had an issue with cottage cheese, I recommend the Friendship 1% whipped it's in a magenta colored container ... it doesn't have the chunky cottage chesse consistancy. I like to mix mustard as well, I also like to mix guacamole with my cottage cheese, Wholly Guacamole sells indiividual 100 calorie packs.

Also, I use cottage cheese in replace of mayo to make salads ... fine chopped chicken to make a chicken salad, tuna I usually add a tsp of mayo with the tuna cause it's dry & chopped ham to make ham salad for the ham I buy the oscar mayer carving station

I'm having a slight filling problem with cottage cheese, but I love it. It just really fills me quikly, so make sure to eat slowly so you don't get overstuffed. But I sprinkle McCormick salad Toppings in mine. Darn good. Or french dressing, finely diced sweet or dill pickles are deelish in it too. Or just salt and pepper if I just feel like having it more plain. Good luck! It is a great source of Protein for us.

I can't eat cottage cheese either :-X I have tried it lots of different ways. What I do like though is ricotta cheese and it has a good amount of Protein too :-) I will eat it with Pasta Sauce, pesto, or a little splenda and the flavor of your choice (lemon or lime zest, vanilla or almond extract and espresso powder are some I use) I have also made it with a little crystal lite powder in a pinch and it was pretty good!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
