Recipe Notes

  • Chill in the fridge 20–30 minutes if you prefer a thicker cheesecake texture.
  • Add a splash of milk if you want it thinner and more mousse-like.
  • Optional toppings are not included in macros.
  • Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days.
  • I split mine into 2 servings, but numbers will be based on the entire recipe

Protein Powder Note

This recipe uses Naked Nutrition Vanilla Naked Whey Isolate. It blends smoothly into cottage cheese without a chalky or gritty texture and keeps the flavor clean and simple. The ingredient list is minimal with no artificial sweeteners, gums or fillers, which makes it easy to use in recipes like parfaits, overnight oats and protein desserts where texture really matters.

Gut Health Tips

  • Cottage cheese provides protein and beneficial bacteria that support digestion and help keep you full longer.
  • Berries contain fiber and polyphenols that help feed beneficial gut bacteria.
  • A protein-rich breakfast can help stabilize blood sugar and reduce cravings later in the day.
  • Blending cottage cheese makes it easier to digest and creates a smoother texture.
