Cottage Cheese Power Snack
To avoid getting stuck in a peanut butter theme, this post is about cottage cheese. It's not nearly as exciting as ooy gooey chocolate and pb, but oh well. (don't worry though, I have plenty of more pb ideas left to share!) Anyways, this idea isn't all that innovative, but I find the combination delightful. It's simply cottage cheese with fiber one. It's crunchy yet creamy, that blandish dairy flavor yet sweetened, protein yet fiberific. (haha). They just work reallllly well together. I usually use 1/2 c 1% cottage cheese with 1/8 c fiber one (or 1/4 c if I'm in the mood for it) It's a quick 100 calorie snack with 13 g of protein and 3.5 g of fiber. I also like cheerios mixed in, but I think the flavors don't complement each other as well and the cheerios get soggy. I've also tried Kashi Go Lean, which although I absolutely love in yogurt, didn't enjoy as much in cottage cheese. But I guess that's all personal preference. Oh, and I have tried melting peanut butter and mixing it in with the cottage cheese...let's just say it was interesting. I ate it and it was alright, but it certainly wasn't delicious-- it was actually a little odd. Anyway, there's the lowdown on my not-so-exciting but actually-really-yummy cottage cheese snack.

You are a brave one.. peanut butter and cottage cheese!? I think I'll pass on that ;-) But thanks for your blog!! Your pudding and PB idea sounds especially good-- I'll try it soon.
I love cottage cheese and fiber one! Great site by the way, I'm bookmarking. :)
Looks like vomit in a bowl
Haha yes it certainly does! But I promise it doesn't taste like it! Hopefully some of te other combos look more appealing to you....
And Nikki, I'm glad you like!
