Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 2 scoops peanut butter flavored protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ tablespoons powdered sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk or nut milk
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency with more milk if desired.
  • Chill for 30 minutes for a firmer texture, or enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Starting with chilled cottage cheese and almond milk makes the pudding instantly cool and creamy and helps everything blend together more smoothly. 
  • Too thick? Add a splash more milk. Too thin? Blend in a bit more cottage cheese or protein powder.
  • Use flavored extracts or add a spoonful of nut butter, instant espresso, or citrus zest for a fun twist.
  • Try blending in mix-ins like chia seeds, a handful of spinach, or even a bit of avocado - they add a little something extra without changing the texture too much.
  • Dress it up with your favorite toppings like fresh berries, cacao nibs, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Double or triple the recipe and store portions in individual containers for grab-and-go snacks or dessert throughout the week.
Serve: For breakfast or a midday snack, enjoy it with a slice of toast and fresh fruit, bacon and eggs, quiche, or a breakfast sandwich. For an indulgent dessert, top with crushed graham crackers, chocolate chips, or a swirl of jam, or serve with berries or a few crisp cookies on the side.
Store: Transfer protein pudding to an airtight container or portion it into small jars or meal prep cups with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze - the texture may become grainy after thawing.
