Frozen Berry Protein Delight (Printable Recipe)
# What You’ll Need:
→ For the Bark
01 -
1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
02 -
1 tbsp unprocessed honey
03 -
1 tsp natural vanilla extract
04 -
1/3 cup no-sugar-added blueberry jam
05 -
4-6 oz plump fresh blueberries
06 -
1/4 cup crunchy granola
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Toss cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract into your blender. Whip everything up until it's smooth as silk, making sure to wipe down the blender walls as you go.
02 -
Put parchment on a baking sheet. Smooth out your creamy cheese blend into a flat, even coat on top.
03 -
Drop spoonfuls of blueberry jam randomly across your cheese layer. Run a knife through it to create pretty swirls that mix without fully combining.
04 -
Throw blueberries and granola bits all over the top. Push them down lightly so they don't fall off later.
05 -
Stick the whole tray in your freezer for at least 4 hours or leave it overnight until it's totally solid and firm.
06 -
Break the frozen treat into chunks once it's ready. Keep them in a sealed container in the freezer. Let the pieces warm up for about 5 minutes before you munch on them.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Pick cottage cheese with higher fat content for better richness.
02 -
Run your blender a bit longer than you think for ultra-smoothness, stopping to clean the sides when needed.
03 -
Give your cheese mix a quick taste before you spread it out. Feel free to add more honey if you want it sweeter.
04 -
Any extra pieces can stay good in your freezer for up to 14 days in a sealed container.
05 -
The bark tastes way better after sitting out briefly - just five minutes makes it perfectly soft to bite.
