Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups Low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 scoop Vanilla or Chocolate whey/casein protein powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar-free maple syrup or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Almond butter or peanut butter (optional for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup Fresh berries or sugar-free chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and nut butter into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend on high for about 60 to 90 seconds. You want to ensure the mixture is completely smooth with no curds remaining. The consistency should look like a thick pudding or cake batter.
- Once the base is smooth, pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container or a glass meal prep jar. If you are adding chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or berries, fold them gently into the mixture using a spatula. Do not blend the mix-ins if you want a bit of texture in every bite.
- Smooth the top of the mixture with your spatula and seal the container tightly. Place it in the freezer for 2 to 4 hours. For the best “soft serve” texture, check the consistency at the 2-hour mark. If you leave it overnight, it will become very hard, so let it thaw on the counter for 15 minutes before digging in.
