Looks like your protein powder is pure protein, so you will want to eat it with a portion of carbs. Maybe an apple or something.

As far as cottage cheese goes...some people hate it, but I truly love it. I put it in my salad sometimes, eat it plain, mix my fruit yogurt in it, or mix protein powder (banana flavor) in it. Some people like to put Splenda and cinnamon in it (I think it is nasty this way). Your tastebuds will adapt.
