Healthy Cottage Cheese Pudding (5 Minutes)
This healthy cottage cheese pudding is a quick, high-protein dessert or snack that comes together in just 5 minutes. Blended until smooth and lightly sweetened, it tastes nothing like cottage cheese and can be customized with chocolate, fruit, or nut butter for endless variations.
Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat, low-fat, or fat-free
- 1-2 tablespoons milk any kind
- 1-2 tablespoons sweetener honey, maple syrup, or sugar substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese and milk to a blender or food processor. Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Add the sweetener and vanilla extract. Blend again for 15–30 seconds until fully combined. Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness as desired.
- Serve immediately for a soft pudding texture, or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for a colder, thicker consistency.
Notes
For chocolate pudding, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and extra sweetener. For fruit pudding, blend in or fold in berries. Adjust milk to control thickness. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
