Description
This Creamy Protein Power Jar is one of those easy prep recipes that quietly does a lot for you. It’s simple, filling, and you can tweak it depending on what you’ve got in the kitchen.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1 tbsp low-carb protein powder (optional)
- 8 to 10 drops liquid stevia (or maple syrup to taste)
- Toppings of your choice
Instructions
- In a bowl, stir together 1 cup 2% cottage cheese and 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk until it starts to loosen up and looks a bit smoother.
- Add 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, 2 tbsp hemp hearts, and 1 tbsp protein powder, if using. Mix really well so nothing sits dry at the bottom.
- Add 8 to 10 drops of liquid stevia or maple syrup and give it a quick taste. Adjust if needed.
- Blend with a hand blender (for smooth texture) or whisk it well if you prefer a bit of texture. It’s up to you, both work.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours so the flaxseed meal thickens everything.
- Stir it before serving and add your toppings.
- Fresh berries, nut butter, or a sprinkle of granola work nicely.

Additional Information
- Can this be frozen? Not ideal. The texture changes and becomes watery once thawed.
- How long can this be stored and how? Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before eating, as it may thicken further.
Substitutions
- Cottage cheese: Try thick Greek yogurt for a smoother taste
- Almond milk: Any milk works, dairy or plant-based
- Flaxseed meal: Chia seeds can be used, but reduce slightly as they thicken more
- Hemp hearts: You can skip or swap with chopped nuts
- Stevia Drops: Use maple syrup or honey if you prefer
