Low fat cottage cheese is amazing for high protein diets and regrettably very hard to actually eat for me

Reposted from Joe Pick

Heard someone say cottage cheese is the duct tape of training meals. Accurate.

I didn’t have plain yogurt and I blitzed it up with cucumber and lemon and it made a surprisingly adequate tatziki

Cottage cheese has to be your brand and your brand only. Knudsen 2% tub is the only kind I can handle.

All the store brand stuff is garbage now. And Prairie Farms is expensive.

Good Culture 2% or GTFO for me (but was raised on Knudsen’s pink tub so understand that one)

**one time** i went off-piste and decided to save a few cents and pick up a different brand than Kemp's and even after the laser-eyes reaction in the moment when i got home, i kept hearing about it for weeks. real bad job by me

I don't like any brand of cottage cheese, but my wife does. She'll eat anyone's, but she does have a distinct favorite... Great Value. The Wal-Mart house brand.

I do 0% fage and a scoop of protein to get that morning protein brick

My mom dated a lifter when I was a kid and he would make this concoction of a full tub of cottage cheese, mixed with chili sauce, topped with smoked oysters, sardines, peanuts, and eggs (sometimes raw, sometimes cooked). It smelled so bad.

I need a high fruit to cottage cheese to make it work.

Cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes. I’m thinking of one random day, waking up a healthy eating person. If that occurred, that healthy person would eat that.

No amount of protein makes up for how horrible cottage cheese tastes.

joelcfc25.bsky.social•11 days ago

wife and kids like cottage cheese pancakes--basically eggs (not a big deal when they were cheap, sigh), flour, baking powder (i think?), cottage cheese, some other stuff. variety of recipes out there. would never be my first choice but they're ok!

Nixon style w/ catsup and pineapple. What doesn't kill you...

Greek yogurt with sweetener and berries is great and so high in protein.

voteymcvoteface.bsky.social•11 days ago

Garlic powder/seasoning in general works surprisingly well on cottage cheese. Like you can almost fool yourself into enjoying it

This me and lowfat plain greek yogurt

Blend it!!! Insane sour cream substitute. I meal prep a chicken queso burrito with blended cottage cheese that’s like 56g of protein and 420cal

… do tell

jordanarnold.me•11 days ago

Makes 12. Freezes great. I eat it for basically every WFH lunch. Serve with cholula

jordanarnold.me•11 days ago

My protip on this if you make it is to strain the water out of the salsa and pico as much as possible so the burritos get less wet when you reheat btw

I am quite fortunate that I enjoy both the taste and texture of cottage cheese. But it is indeed polarizing.

davebrowne.bsky.social•11 days ago

My wife eats a lactose free one that doesn't upset her stomach. Not sure if that would help you.

gabrielsl78.bsky.social•11 days ago

I could only ever do it mixed with some fruit. Otherwise, just awful texture and taste.

enviroaggie.bsky.social•10 days ago

I could only ever do it as a savory food, not sweet.

It's been a minute, but I recall mixing it with tuna instead of mayonnaise worked well.

Or salsa was a low calorie way to add flavor.

2% cottage cheese baked into quiche is pretty good—eggs/egg whites, spinach, cottage cheese, and some shredded cheddar—I usually pour it all into a pie crust, but it works crustless.

towerskt.bsky.social•11 days ago

Also add some Tony’s Cajun seasoning (or your preferred spice blend).

Using Costcos Darigold 2% to make Fairlife & protein powder creami ice creams is my secret weapon in hitting my protein goal
