Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Cottage cheese 2% or 4% – 1 cup
  • Natural peanut butter – 1½ to 2 tablespoons
  • Honey or maple syrup – 1–2 teaspoons optional
  • Vanilla extract – ½ teaspoon
  • Optional protein powder – ½ scoop
  • Optional toppings: banana slices berries, chia seeds, cocoa powder, nuts

Method
 

  1. Add the cottage cheese to a medium bowl and stir gently with a spoon to loosen the texture, breaking up large curds slightly so it becomes easier to mix while still keeping a naturally creamy consistency.
  2. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and sweetener to the bowl, then mix slowly and steadily until everything comes together into a smooth, cohesive mixture with a rich, creamy appearance.
  3. If you’re using protein powder, sprinkle it in gradually rather than all at once, mixing thoroughly after each addition to prevent clumps and ensure the protein blends evenly into the mixture.
  4. Check the texture and, if the bowl feels too thick, add a small splash of milk or yogurt and stir gently until the consistency is creamy, smooth, and easy to spoon.
  5. Add your desired toppings, such as fruit, seeds, or an extra drizzle of nut butter, and enjoy immediately for the best texture, or refrigerate briefly before serving if you prefer it chilled.
