Are there any cottage cheese alternatives, with the same protein content?

Every single article on nutrition I have read states that eating cottage cheese as a snack is suggested because of its high content of protein, low calories and sugar. I can’t stand the taste though! I have even mixed pineapple, grapes, peaches and other fruits with it. I have even put artificial sweetener but it is not good to consume too much artificial sweetener so I don’t want to try that either. What else can I do?
Thanks for the help so far (the first 2 who answered). It does help. Peanut butter has so much fat though and 1 serving of it is not as satisfying as eating a cup of something, like cottage cheese due to its proteing and fiber content.
I like the idea of Soy Milk. I do not like the taste of that either but at least it’s more tolerable than cottage cheese!

A cup of soy milk has just the same ammount of protein in cottage cheese- of a cup of 1% chocolate ‘milk’ carries about 8-9g of protein in just one serving, for only about 140 calories.

Hope i’v helped, goodluck!
- Baked beans are also a great source of protein, legimunes, and lean meats/ fish, eggs, other cheese products, etc..
