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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
