INSTRUCTIONS

Add plant-based cottage cheese, frozen berries, frozen banana, and plant-based milk to a high-speed blender.

Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until thick and creamy. The consistency should be thicker than a smoothie — add more frozen fruit if too thin, more milk if too thick.

Taste and add maple syrup if desired. Blend briefly to combine.

Pour into two bowls. Top with granola, fresh berries, sliced banana, coconut flakes, and chia seeds. Serve immediately.

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.
