How do you "doctor" your cottage cheese?

[crikkit 0]

I just started mushies phase, and I bought some cottage cheese. I'm not a huge fan. Any suggestions for some mix-ins that will still work for mushies?

Just yesterday I took some lite blueberry pie filling we had leftover from my mom's birthday cheesecake and put about a tablespoon of that on my cottage cheese and it was really good. The blueberries were really mushy too.

Salt & pepper

Yogurt

fruit

Beets

Cinnamon & Sugar

Ricotta cheese & Red Sauce

Hi crikit,

Try eating the cottage cheese with blenderized fruit, peaches, pineapple etc. I look forward to having some myself!

Thanks for the suggestions .... several things to try!

Honestly, I doctor mine by avoiding it entirely. :guess The smell of it alone is enough to make me gag, literally.

I buy it, put it in the fridge and throw it out 3 weeks later. LOL, I have good intentions but I just never get around to eating it.

I like cottage cheese but will only eat the full fat kind. It's the only thing in the world that I will eat black pepper on. Weird.

You can whiz up cottage cheese and it takes on a consistency similar to sour cream. From here, your choices are pretty much unlimited. I've even tasted "ice cream" made with blended cottage cheese, Protein powder, and SF pudding... and while it had no risk of being mistaken for Ben & Jerry's, it wasn't all that bad.

This may sound weird ... when I was preggers with my first son, one of my weird cravings was cottage cheese w/ salsa. Here 17 years later, I still like to eat it that way! I'm not into adding all the fruity stuff to it ... it's either salsa or plain for me. :biggrin1:

I buy the whipped kind (or put it in the blender) and eat it a huge dollop in Tomato Soup or with marinara sauce. It's one of my favorite meals. YUM!

[TerriDoodle 6]

Yes, it IS very good in Tomato soup...i'd forgotten that!

I eat 4% (full fat) cottage cheese also....the 2g of fat you save eating the other just isn't worth it to me.

I eat it with strawberries, blueberries, pears, pineapple or raspberries and 3 packets of Splenda. I eat it just about every day for one meal or another :-)

Instead of Protein shakes (I was so sick of them, and I didn't want ANYTHING sweet) I'd put a cup of cottage cheese in the blender with a cup of Tomato juice and whizz it up and have that as my Protein shake.

Salsa is good in it, too... MMMM!

to make cottage cheese sweet, add apple sauce. to make it salty, slice or dice pickles and add them. and i think it was president nixon that liked cottage cheese with ketchup. not bad either. try it. and to everyone good luck on your journey!!!
