Ingredients
3/4 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/2 cup Low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
1/2 cup Fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed if frozen)
1 scoop (approx. 25g) Strawberry or Vanilla whey/casein protein powder
1 tbsp Sugar-free cheesecake instant pudding mix (or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract + sweetener of choice)
Topping: 1 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries or chopped fresh strawberries
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend Base: In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, strawberries, protein powder, and sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix.
2. Whip Until Fluffy: Blend on high for 60 to 90 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides if necessary, until the mixture is ultra-smooth, creamy, and airy with no cottage cheese curds remaining.
3. Jar & Chill: Spoon the fluffy strawberry mixture into clean glass jars or meal prep containers.
4. Garnish & Serve: Top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries or fresh diced strawberries. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the fluff to set to a soft mousse consistency before eating!
Chef’s Tips
Freeze-Dried Strawberry Crunch: Top with crushed freeze-dried strawberries right before serving for intense berry flavor and a light crunch without added moisture.
Fluffier Texture: Casein protein powder or a whey/casein blend absorbs liquid better than whey isolate, creating a noticeably thicker, mousse-like fluff.
