I love cottage cheese and when I was pregnant with twins it was the only thing I could eat.

I was skeptical about mixing cheese with mustard like TikTok users were doing.

After trying the mix with baby carrots, I’m a convert; it’s delicious.
Much to my husband’s disgust, I’ve always been a fan of cottage cheese.
When I was little, my mom and I would share a tub while watching a movie or just chatting, and could finish it in one sitting. Then, when I was pregnant with twins, I had really bad nausea and could keep down very few things. I basically lived on cottage cheese for the first few months of my pregnancy.
When I saw that TikTokers were mixing cottage cheese with mustard, I was initially annoyed. Cottage cheese, in my mind, didn’t need anything to make it taste better. But after seeing video after video of people eating the mix with veggies, sausages, and more, I was intrigued. So I decided to try it, and my mind was blown.
TikTok users claim they eat the mix to lose weight
The first TikTok I came across with this concoction was from user Tiffany Elizabeth, who says in her bio that she’s lost over 80 pounds. In her videos, which have millions of views, Tiffany eats cottage cheese and mustard with pretty much anything: chicken sausage, hearts of palm, broccoli, carrots, and even bananas.
According to Health, the logic behind this mix being used to lose weight is that cottage cheese is high in protein and keeps you feeling full for longer. Dipping vegetables, which are high in fiber, in this mix will also add to that feeling of fullness. However, nutritionists noted that this is not a balanced meal, and while people might lose weight when just eating the mix with veggies and other high-protein foods like sausage, they will be missing other key nutrients for their bodies.

It is actually delicious
I was curious to try the mix, not because I’m trying to lose weight but simply because of my love for cottage cheese.
