Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (440 grams)
  • 1 small avocado (80 grams)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (25 grams - I used chocolate collagen)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • pinch of sea salt
  • for serving - whipped cream, fresh berries, sliced banana, shaved chocolate, chocolate chips, cacao nibs, shredded coconut…

Instructions

  • Make protein pudding. Add ingredients to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth, creamy, and well combined. If needed, stop the blender occasionally to push down the ingredients.
  • Let chill (optional). If desired, transfer the mixture to a jar or bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes (or longer) to chill. As it sits, the consistency will thicken.
  • Enjoy! Top with toppings and enjoy!
