I'm still not allowed to eat cottage cheese (on a pretty strict CKD diet for a while yet) but I can't wait until I'm on my maintainance diet.... it's gunna be a mainstay of my daily eating.
I like to just use a stick of celery to dip with.... it's better than just chugging away at it with a spoon, plus you get the benefits of the celery and it tastes better. That's what I do!
I think of cottage cheese as a sweet food, and not a salty food. I eat Cabot brand fat free cottage cheese, and I like to add vanilla whey and peanutbutter. The peanutbutter further slows the absorbtion of the protein because of the fats, so it would be particularly good to mix it in if it is the last meal of the day.
Someone on here (I think Frackal) would take a package of Fat-Free Jello (whatever flavor you want) and add that to a cup of cottage cheese. At least it was something different.....
I bought cottage cheese with chives thinking it would be something new and exciting but it wasn't that great. BUT -- it WAS great for eating with my baked potatoes. It tastes a lot like sour cream and the chives, well they're just meant to go with potatoes.
