Ingredients
1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla or strawberry whey/casein protein powder
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese or Greek yogurt
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 tsp xanthan gum (essential for achieving the voluminous fluff texture)
1 tbsp sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding mix (optional, for authentic cheesecake flavor)
For garnish: Fresh strawberry slices and a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries
Instructions
1. Load the Blender: In a high-speed blender, combine the frozen strawberries, protein powder, cottage cheese (or Greek yogurt), sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix, and unsweetened almond milk.
2. First Blend: Blend on high speed for about 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and resembles a thick purée.
3. Add the Magic Thickeners: Add the xanthan gum to the blender. Secure the lid tightly.
4. Whip Into Fluff: Blend on high speed for an uninterrupted 2 to 3 minutes. The xanthan gum combined with the rapid blade movement will pull air into the mixture, causing it to triple in size and turn into an ultra-light, cloud-like volume fluff.
5. Garnish and Serve: Scoop the voluminous protein whip into a large bowl or container. Top with fresh strawberry slices, whipped cream if desired, and a dust of freeze-dried strawberry pieces. Eat immediately with a spoon!
