- During my twin pregnancy, cottage cheese became my go-to food.
- Initially skeptical, I tried the trending cottage cheese and mustard combination and was pleasantly surprised.
- After trying it with baby carrots, I became a fan of this delicious mix.
Contrary to my husband’s disapproval, I have always had a fondness for cottage cheese.
As a child, my mom and I would indulge in a tub of cottage cheese while bonding over movies or conversations, often finishing it in one sitting. When I was pregnant with twins and experienced severe nausea, cottage cheese became my savior during the first few months.
When I first saw TikTokers mixing cottage cheese with mustard, I felt skeptical. In my opinion, cottage cheese was already delicious on its own. However, after witnessing numerous videos of people enjoying the mix with various accompaniments like vegetables, sausages, and even bananas, I became intrigued. I decided to give it a try, and it completely blew my mind.
TikTok users claim the mix aids weight loss
I stumbled upon a TikTok video by Tiffany Elizabeth, who claims to have lost over 80 pounds. In her viral videos, Tiffany showcases how she incorporates cottage cheese and mustard into her meals with items such as chicken sausage, hearts of palm, broccoli, carrots, and bananas.
According to Health, cottage cheese’s high protein content keeps you feeling satisfied for longer, and when combined with fiber-rich vegetables, it enhances the feeling of fullness. However, nutritionists caution that this combination should not replace a well-balanced meal, as it may lack essential nutrients.
The verdict: it’s surprisingly delicious
I was initially motivated to try the mix out of curiosity rather than a desire to lose weight. I substituted plain mustard with hot and sweet mustard since I didn’t have the plain version at home. As there were no specific measurements mentioned in the videos, I improvised. I opted to pair the mix with baby carrots.
The first bite convinced me. I found the combination of mustard and cottage cheese incredibly tasty, to the point where I would eat spoonfuls without any carrots. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up having a second bowl.
That being said, I don’t think I could consume this mix every day. While incorporating different vegetables and meats might add variety, I believe the novelty would fade quickly, especially since I enjoy dining out with my kids at pizza and burger places.
Overall, I’m glad I gave it a chance. As someone who lacks culinary skills, this mix presents a new and exciting option for my lunch menu, which has primarily consisted of hummus and toast until now.
