Ingredients
Base
- 2 medium ripe bananas (the riper, the sweeter)
Protein Cream
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat or low-fat, plain or vanilla)
- ½ cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
(whey isolate or plant-based both work)
Optional Sweetness
- 1–2 tbsp honey, sugar-free maple syrup, or monk fruit
Flavor Enhancers
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (balances sweetness)
- Optional: pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bananas
Peel bananas and slice into rounds (like the image).
This helps them blend smoothly and evenly.
Step 2: Blend the Cottage Cheese
Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth — no lumps.
This step is key for a silky, pudding-like texture.
Step 3: Blend Everything Together
Add to the blender:
- Banana slices
- Greek yogurt
- Protein powder
- Sweetener (if using)
- Vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Blend for 30–60 seconds, scraping sides as needed.
You should get a thick, glossy, whipped cream-style mixture.
Step 4: Adjust Texture
- Too thick? Add 1–2 tbsp milk or almond milk
- Too thin? Add a little more yogurt or protein powder
Step 5: Serve or Chill
Spoon or pipe into glasses like the photo.
Serve immediately or chill 30–60 minutes for a firmer, mousse-like texture.
Texture & Taste
- Ultra-smooth
- Naturally sweet banana flavor
- Light but filling
- Creamy without heaviness
