Ingredients
- ¾ cup cottage cheese (2% or fat-free)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- For the Topping:
- ¼ cup Catalina Crunch Cinnamon Cereal (or any cinnamon-flavored cereal)
- Extra sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions
- Place cottage cheese, protein powder, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon into a blender or food processor.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, like thick yogurt or cheesecake.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and dust with extra cinnamon.
- Top with cinnamon cereal just before serving for optimal crunch.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based cottage cheese and vegan protein powder.
- Swap maple syrup with sugar-free alternatives like monk fruit or stevia for lower sugar content.
- Add fruit like banana slices, berries, or cinnamon apples for extra texture and sweetness.
- Change the crunch with granola, crushed graham crackers, hemp seeds, or chopped nuts.
- Prep the base ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days; add toppings just before eating.
