Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 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.
