Notes

Tips, Tricks & Favorite Add Ins

  • Add a scoop of protein powder for an extra protein boost; vanilla or cinnamon flavors work great here.
  • If using quick oats, reduce the liquid slightly.
  • Want it sweeter? Add mashed banana, chopped dates, or a few drops of vanilla stevia.
  • Add fun toppings like chocolate chips, almonds, coconut flakes, or ever peanut butter cups for more of a treat.
  • Make it a chocolate base by adding a tablespoon or two of cocoa powder to the cottage cheese before whipping. You can also add peanut butter here, too!
  • Not a fan of the flavor of cottage cheese? Sub greek yogurt or skyr instead.
