How to Make Easy Lunches with Cottage Cheese

I can not believe I am sharing with you how to make easy lunches with cottage cheese.

Y’all. At one time, I was a certified cottage cheese hater.

For real. I could not handle it.

My husband, on the other hand, has always been a cottage cheese fan.

Which is why we’ve always had cottage cheese in the fridge.

One day, looking for a low fat, high protein food, I turned to cottage cheese. And that’s how I started eating it.

However, in order to actually like cottage cheese, I needed to mix stuff in. Stuff to make it taste good.

And ya know what? There are actually plenty of ways to dress up cottage cheese so it tastes better.

If you are looking for what to eat with cottage cheese, hopefully, these recipes will inspire you.

All of these easy cottage cheese lunch recipes are super quick to make. Plus, you can make them the night before! Talk about making getting out the door easier!

Here are my favorite cottage cheese lunch recipes:

Cottage Cheese with Dill

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried dill

Mix all ingredients together.

To Serve: Add Triscuits and sliced cucumbers for dipping, and cherry tomatoes, which compliment the flavors and makes for a well-rounded lunch.

Cottage Cheese with Honey

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 to 2 tablespoons honey

Mix together cottage cheese and honey.

To Serve: In a lunch container, place pear halves (I used canned). Top with cottage cheese mixture, then sprinkle with any granola and berry combination you have on hand.

This combo is excellent served with a cherry-berry whole wheat muffin.

Mexican Cottage Cheese Salad

• 1 cup shredded cheddar
• 1/2 cup black beans

Stir together cottage cheese, cheddar, corn, black beans, and salsa.

To Serve: Add small peppers and tortilla chips for scooping up the salad.

Cottage Cheese Pizza Dip

• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Mix all ingredients together.

To Serve: Use toasted pita wedges and halved mini peppers to scoop dip.
