Cottage Cheese
Here are some fast and easy cottage cheese recipes that I picked up over the web. I want to try most of them. These are the easiest recipes that have very low preparation time. Just add:
- Black Pepper [Try with baby carrots] - Tried with some nasty really sour Sam's club brand cottage cheese... It "kinda" masks the taste, but not really. Not too big of a taste difference.
- Chili
- Black Pepper + Tuna - Sure it'll taste the same as with just Tuna. Has my approval.
- Cinnamon - I always add a TSP of Cinnamon/a TSP of Cocoa. Not too much added taste, but still a little. Helps me when cutting because I keep calories down.
- Cucumber
- Pepper + Scallion
- Salsa
- Tomatoes
- Tomatoes + Black Pepper
- Frozen Berries + Granola - Raspberries are a big no, too sour. Need to try with other berries. Granola is great.
- Granola - Adds an amazing crunch and sweetness that can't be beat. One of my TOP choices.
- Frozen Berries - Raspberries are a big no, too sour. Need to try with other berries.
- Jam
- Mrs. Dash
- Raisins
- Sliced Bananas + Cinnamon
- Salsa + Hard Boiled Egg
- Splenda + Strawberry sugar free jelly
- Splenda + Cinnamon
- Cinnamon + Splenda and Sugar Free Jelly
- Apple Butter + Splenda
- Pumpkin Butter + Splenda
- Raspberries + Blackberries
- Cocoa + Melted PB + Splenda
- Granola + Splenda
- Peanut Butter - Tastes fine, hard to mix.
- Toast - Cottage cheese sandwich is great, can't hardly taste it. My seal of approval.
- Tomato + Cucumber + Salt + Pepper
- ½ Cantaloupe
- Onion + Celery + Pepper + Tuna
I can't wait to try some of these.
Here is a GREAT website for more in depth recipes with cottage cheese. Click this link.
I will slowly try these recipes are school and report back on how successful I am with them. One thing to note about cottage cheese is that it is a slow releasing energy source. Generally eat this early before workouts or before bed. Not as effective as a post workout snack.
