Cottage Cheese
I know some people hate cottage cheese. The people that dislike this high-protein dairy delight typically really hate it with a passion. I’ll admit I’m a huge fan. I have found that those who couldn’t be more repulsed by the curds often have an aversion to the texture. I recently began blending cottage cheese with a myriad of fruits, nuts and yogurt and have found that this dramatic change in texture gives cottage cheese a whole new dimension.
One of my favorite cottage cheese blends actually tastes a lot like pumpkin pie filling.
Cottage Cheese and Canned Pumpkin Pre-Blended
I blend equal parts cottage cheese and canned pumpkin along with a copious amount of pumpkin pie spice and a pinch or two of Splenda (use your sweetener of choice). I top the mix with slivered almonds or pumpkin pie seeds. It’s like Thanksgiving in a bowl.

Here’s a brief list of things you may enjoy blending with cottage cheese:
Yogurt (any flavor)
Frozen or fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
Frozen mango or pineapple
Nut butters
Canned Pumpkin
Sugar-free Jello
Sugar-free Jello powder or sugar-free Jello pudding powder
Protein powder
Another cottage cheese success story… this was cottage cheese blended with 1/2 scoop All the Whey cake batter protein powder, frozen blueberries and a splash of Almond Breeze almond milk.

I like cc with applesauce! It tastes so good. And I like it with smashed banana 🙂
Oooh I love that idea! I love bananas on mine too! I like to heat them up w/ a little sugar-free syrup too. Yummy!
I tried the Pumpkin and Cottage cheese. It’s good..very different but I do like it. Tastes better cold I think!
I LOVE COTTAGE CHEESE! I just bought a can of pumpkin and I can’t wait to try this recipe tomorrow. I used to use cottage cheese as a chip dip, but now that I try to be healthier I mix any fruit, nuts, stevia, a dash of sea salt and sometimes 1/2 a graham cracker together 🙂 It’s also pretty good mixed with veggies. I like mixing cottage cheese with warm broccoli and sprinkling it with sea salt pepper 🙂
You missed one great ingredient…mix Pace Picante sauce with cottage cheese, great as a dip or alone with a spoon
