Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 2 tbsp milk (as needed for mixing)

Flavor and Sweeteners

  • 1 tbsp peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • ½ tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

Instructions

  1. Combine the base ingredients: In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with protein powder and 1–2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and fully combined. For an ultra creamy texture, blend the mixture in a food processor for 10–15 seconds.
  2. Add flavor and sweetness: Drizzle peanut butter and honey (or your preferred alternatives) over the mixture, ensuring to distribute evenly to add richness and natural sweetness.
  3. Sprinkle seeds and chocolate chips: Top the bowl with chia seeds, hemp seeds, and optional mini dark chocolate chips to add crunch, extra protein, and a touch of indulgence.
  4. Finish with fruit and nuts: Arrange sliced banana or berries and chopped nuts on top to provide natural sweetness, texture, and additional nutrients.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Your Cottage Cheese Protein Power Bowl is ready to eat. Mix gently if desired and dig in for a nutritious boost.
