Servings: 2
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 ripe banana
- ½ Tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ scoop (12.5 grams) vanilla protein powder I used Equip Prime Protein
- Optional toppings: banana slices whipped cream and crushed vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, banana, maple syrup, vanilla and protein powder to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Divide between two glasses and top with additional banana slices, a dollop of whipped cream and crushed vanilla wafers, if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just note that the texture may thicken slightly as it chills and the banana flavor will get stronger over time. Give it a stir before serving and enjoy cold, straight from the fridge
- Not a fan of cottage cheese? Try my healthy banana pudding instead, which is made with Greek yogurt.
