Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese (small curd works best)
- 1 ½ cups frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- ½ frozen banana (sliced before freezing for easier blending)
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Optional Toppings: Fresh berries, hemp seeds, grain-free granola, or a drizzle of almond butter
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients. Ensure your fruit is completely frozen, as this is what gives the bowl its thick, scoopable consistency. If your cottage cheese has a lot of liquid on top, give it a quick stir before measuring it out. Measure your milk carefully; you only need a splash to get the blades moving.
- Place the cottage cheese, frozen berries, frozen banana, vanilla extract, and sweetener into a high-speed blender or food processor. Start blending on a low speed, using a tamper to push the frozen fruit down toward the blades. Gradually increase the speed. Continue blending for about 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cottage cheese remain.
- Use a silicone spatula to scrape the thick mixture into a chilled bowl. Smooth out the top with the back of a spoon. Immediately add your favorite toppings, such as a handful of fresh fruit for texture, a sprinkle of granola for crunch, and a drizzle of nut butter for healthy fats. Serve immediately while it is still cold and thick.
