Total Time:5 minutes
Yield:2 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2 scoops peanut butter flavored protein powder (or flavor of choice)
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ tbsp powdered erythritol or stevia (to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (to thin, as needed)
Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
Combine Ingredients: Place the cottage cheese, peanut butter flavored protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol or stevia, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using) into a blender or food processor.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is creamy and smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste the pudding and add more almond milk if a thinner consistency is desired, or more sweetener according to your preference. Blend again briefly to combine.
Chill (Optional): For a firmer texture, chill the pudding in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. This step is optional depending on your texture preference.
Notes
Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese based on your dietary preference; full-fat will yield a richer pudding.
Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of powdered erythritol or stevia.
If you prefer a dairy-free version, use a vegan protein powder and a non-dairy cottage cheese alternative.
The almond milk amount can be adjusted to control the pudding’s thickness; start with less and add more as needed.
Chilling the pudding enhances the texture but can be skipped if you prefer it immediately.
