A Thread Dedicated to Cottage Cheese 😂😂 Omg😅



Recommended Posts

I never In my life heard the Words Cottage cheese used so much until I entered the Bariatric community. MY GOSH cottage cheese never was what I called a tasty cheesy treat lol. As time went on I see that cottage cheese packs a lot of Protein and I have slowly started to enjoy whole Milk cottage cheese. How do you use cottage cheese? What are your recipes? Do you even like cottage cheese? lol it is an aquired taste for sure 😂😂

I have the weird post-covid effect of yogurt (all yogurts!) tasting metallic. So cottage cheese has replaced it for me. I eat mine with a handful of blueberries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.

Nope. Not before & not now. It’s a textural thing for me & the visual 🤢. Give me real cheese!

So not a helpful comment here, but I was also stunned at how much cottage cheese is mentioned/used in the bariatric community!

Pre-surgery I was like..."I am going to try it", and I had looked up and saved so many different recipes using it - truth is, I still haven't tried it 🤣

I've been eating it on it's own since it's good puree - soft food texture so it works both ways. Also added it to a Tomato Soup to give texture and Protein. I used to like it all the time when I was in the US, but since moving over to the UK, I didn't like it because the texture was different. Now, I can keep it down and it's a good protein so I eat it all the time.

But, my local supermarket sells it mixed with pineapple, or one with Italian Herbs. I wouldn't eat either of those, but it might be a good suggestion for someone.

I would never had had it pre-op as hate all cheeses but decided to try it a few months ago after seeing so many posts about it.

I made banana bread using cottage cheese and it was lovely, I also made a chocolate pudding using it which was tasty.

You've heard "cottage cheese" a lot, for me its been "Greek yogurt"! Between the dieticians and this forum I'm up to my eyeballs in hearing it! Every single time I spoke with the dieticians they mentioned it..you'd think they owned stock in Fage! I only use it as a replacement for sour cream since it tastes like sour cream and not yogurt to me since it has that sour cream bitter sour taste.

I do like the pineapple " cottage cheese" although I keep it to a minimum... what with pineapple having lots of sugars!

mark me down as a cottage cheese lover. always have been.

i like to eat it plain, with all kinds of fruit, and/or granola, nuts, seeds, honey.

.... i also like it savoury: with black pepper, and/or cayenne, garlic/onion powder, more cheese, cured meats, bacon, anchovies, grilled veggies, balsamic vinegar....ha! (yes, you read that right: anchovies, lol!)

i've also used it to substitute some/most of the cream cheese in cheesecakes quite successfully. lowers the calorie level and denseness of the result (but if you like new york style cheesecakes, doesn't really work...)

anyway, i could go on and for my cottage cheese love (which i probably already did, ha!)...

Cottage Cheese Forever!

Same! I love cottage cheese and have been eating it since I was a kid. Growing up cottage cheese and canned pears were my jam! Since surgery, I have eaten a lot of cottage cheese. I mostly eat it by itself as a snack. I haven't eaten a lot of fruit yet but will sometimes eat some frozen blueberries with it.

I don't really cook with it so I cant really help with that. I don't love plain Greek yogurt so I would rather put cottage cheese in anything that calls for that.

I hated cottage cheese before and was so grossed out by it. Now I love blending it with eggs to make a high Protein omelette. I also add it to a bunch of sauces. Still trying to explore new recipes.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
