Cottage Cheese & Fruit?
While I had my mid-afternoon yogurt (a fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt, as I have every day), one of my cow-orkers suggested that I could try those cottage-cheese-and-fruit combos (for instance, “Cottage Doubles”). At 150 Calories and 12g protein each, they’re pretty healthy — though it’s fair to say that yogurt is generally healthy to begin with ;).
Has anyone tried these, and are they any good? I may just buy a couple, but they cost about twice as much as those little yogurts ($1 instead of about 50¢). And, I’m a bit concerned when Kraft’s press release says that “it satisfies you without weighing you down” — could that just marketing-speak to say that they’re not filling?

I don’t ge the Cottage Double things, but I do eat cottage cheese for lunch daily, often with real fruit (apple, peach) cut up into little pieces and mixed up in the cottage cheese. I love it, I think it is filling (with or without the fruit, but very much so with the fruit) and I love the low-calorie, high protein bit as well.
Do you prepare the cottage-cheese-and-fruit mixture the night before, or do you prepare it each morning? Because I have to get up so early for work (around 6am), I have a preference for making lunch-items the night before ;)
I thought it tasted awful…would rather buy the yogurt or just eat the cottage cheese. The fruit is like jam…too sweet!!
