With cottage or ricotta, just add herbs and put over something yummy (or eat plain!).

Put some garlic and and chives (or insert preferred herb) in a mortar or bowl. Squish down so it's pulpified. Add ricotta. Mix. Nom.

Ricotta is awesome. You can make it savory or sweet...it's flavor is much more mild than cottage chesse and it blends well. You can sweeten ricotta with sugar-free Torani Syrup (or whatever brand you like) or with splenda and a little cinnamon and eat it for "dessert" ...YUM!

I'm not sure on Protein from cottage cheese vs. ricotta... I'm guessing they might be about the same ...okay I just looked them up on my food logger and it seems 4 oz of 2% cottage cheese has about 15g Protein whereas the same amount of part-skim ricotta has about 12g. There you go! I do think the ricotta has a milder flavor and takes on whatever you add to it whereas the cottage cheese is a bit sharper ...more overwhelming.

Good luck, either choice is yummy!

Hi.... Where would I find those sf syrups everyone raves about.... I am in NJ.... Thanks so muchhhh

The sugar-free syrups are available at Amazon, at Walmart, and a ton of other websites/stores. Amazon has/had a special going with six different flavored bottles for around 36 a few weeks ago. They also sell pumps that you can put in the tops of the bottles for a few bucks more.

There are other brands besides Torani, so you may want to buy one or two smaller bottles and see what you like before you buy a six pack.

Good luck!
