Cottage Cheese Banana Pudding">Cottage cheese protein pudding is the TikTok-viral snack that's taken the fitness world by storm, and it lives up to every bit of the hype. By blending cottage cheese with protein powder and a touch of sweetener until impossibly smooth, you create a thick, creamy pudding that tastes like chocolate mousse but packs 35g of protein per serving. Yes, you read that right — 35 grams. This might be the single most protein-dense cottage cheese recipe in existence, and it takes just 2 minutes to make. The key is blending the cottage cheese long enough to break down every single curd, transforming it from lumpy to silky. Add chocolate protein powder for a rich, decadent chocolate pudding, or try vanilla for a more subtle flavor. The texture is thick and spoonable, similar to a Greek yogurt but richer and more satisfying. This cottage cheese protein pudding is perfect as a post-workout snack, a high-protein dessert, or even a late-night treat that won't wreck your macros. Customize with toppings like crushed graham crackers, fresh berries, peanut butter swirls, or coconut flakes. It keeps in the fridge for 3 days but honestly, it rarely lasts that long. Simple, delicious, and incredibly effective for hitting your protein goals. All nutrition data is verified using USDA FoodData Central for accuracy.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cottage cheese recipes are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
