Cottage Cheese

[Richie1888]

anyone got anything they put in this to take the edge off ?

 

[Marat]

I like putting in a bunch of cinnamon with a little bit of nutmeg.

Peanut butter too if I have room for the calories.

 

[tucker01]

Fruit, Cinnamon, Sweetener.

 

[AKIRA]

Light & Fit Strawberry Yogurt. I am literally eating a bowl of it right now.

If you hate the texture, youre kind of fucked. But if that bitter after taste is what makes you gag, this can help take the edge off.

I tried Splenda. That didnt do shit for me. Fruit is ok, but I USUALLY eat this at night, so I dont want extra carbs.

Never tried peanut butter...

If you hate the texture then cook with it. Blended into stuff the texture doesn't matter.

Splenda/Cinnamon
Peanut Butter/Jelly
Avocado/Salsa
Pepper
Cereal
Nuts
Sugar Free Syrup
Cocoa

Also works great mixed in with scrambled eggs, on salads, and blended into shakes.

nice guys cheers

Try Paneer Tikka recipe(Cottage Cheese Barbecue)..... substitute butter with healthy oil like olive oil, use low fat yogurt instead of whole yogurt.

You can drop the veggies if you want, but carbs from veggies are not that bad.....

There are just too many paneer tikka recipes on the net....hunt for them & try the one that suits you.

Paneer is cottage cheese, you really don't need a barbecue for this one, oven works just fine.

Here's one recipe for you----> Tandoori Paneer Tikka - Paneer Chunks Marinated in Tandoori Masala

You can even keep it in freezer after marination...just nuke them & they are ready.

I just add nonfat plain yogurt from danon, blue berries, chopped strawberries and little milk.

I having some right now!!! really yummy, come down to India & i'll feed you some....

I just started using sugar free strawberry preserve,1 tbl spoon has 10 calories and 4g carb,its fat and protein free,but 1 tbl spoon makes yogurt or cottage cheese sweet enough!

It's made with Splenda you can find it in supermarket,probably in the same section with all the jams/peanut butter etc.

My local store has 4 different brands of these.

 

[Yanick]

I mix it with almonds or walnuts, strawberries and a scoop of banana whey (gotta hit it with just a bit of water to help mix the whey in). I also substitute raw oatmeal for the strawberries, or leave out the carbs altogether and do walnuts, CC, banana whey and bit of water. Tastes like banana cream pie filling....not really but I like to imagine that it does. I'm also sure any flavor of whey will work. I don't even need to add anything sweet when I do that.

Otherwise I used to just choke it down with some sweetened tea (w/splenda of course). Sometimes I take a lot of CC, hit with some water (or milk if diet allows), throw into the blender and add a couple of scoops of whey, then let sit in the fridge and it becomes like pudding/ice cream. The last option takes some practice...I've made lots of cottage cheese soups before I got it right.

I want some of this really bad

 

[Built]

Doesn't that look GOOD?

Back to cottage cheese - I use it like mayo. Mix it in with tuna and some avocado - that's my breakfast almost every day.

Blend it, toss in some splenda and cocoa. Kinda tastes like, well, like shitty cheesecake.

 

[vader]

hell yeah, Cottage cheese is great. I eat like a dip with tortilla chips or apple slices. Sometimes I mix pineapple chunks in it. Damn good stuff

 

[thorough]

i have found that some brands taste way better than others. i think ive tried like 10 different stores and only found 2 that i really liked.
i usually eat it by itself.
lately i throw some on top of my eggs after they come out of the microwave. cools them down real fast so i can shovel them down quickly.
i just ate some with some giardiniera on the side.
ive added it too salads.

i think im going to add giardiniera to lots of stuff now...

 

[nkira]

I concur with the brand n taste issue....here I always buy freshly made slabs from dairy....fresh n soft..there's some of that last nights tikka in the fridge....

The one we always get looks like the attached picture, more on the spicier side, they use food color but it's really your choice.

If someone is looking for non spicy non color version then they can try this one, trust me, equally FABULOUS!!

I will also say some brands are great others taste like junk. I like the kroger brand and the stuff costco sells and that is it.

 

[juggernaut]

walden farms chocolate sauce (or sugarfree Hersheys)
peanut butter
chocolate protein powder
a few drops water at the bottom

Nah, she told me this one last year. I was just jokin' about the book.

...delicious paneer...

I love paneer, but it's not really a great cottage cheese analog in the nutrition info sense. If you're cutting, paneer costs you a whole lot more calories to get the same amount of protein you'd get from cottage cheese. But maybe there is less fatty paneer around that I just haven't found (I buy premade "bricks" since I'm lazy).

But I'm back to bulking in a couple weeks, and that means pile on the saag paneer for me. Yum!

 

[juggernaut]

never heard of it
