Cottage Cheese Chocolate Protein Pudding

By: Elysia Cartlidge
Servings 2 servings
Indulgently thick and creamy, this decadent cottage cheese chocolate pudding definitely does not taste like it has cottage cheese in it! It's the perfect sweet, creamy treat to satisfy your chocolate cravings while offering a whopping 25 grams of protein per serving. You can even enjoy it for breakfast!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tablespoons natural peanut butter (depending on how much peanut butter flavor you like)
  • 1/3 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 2-3 teaspoons maple syrup (optional - if you prefer it sweeter)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped or shaved dark chocolate
  • Raspberries or strawberries

Instructions

  • Add the cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter, and milk to a high power blender/food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is blended evenly. Taste and add a bit of maple syrup, if you prefer it sweeter. 
  • Transfer pudding into small bowls or glasses. 
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Top with some shaved or chopped dark chocolate and fresh berries, if desired.

Notes

    • If you're having trouble blending the cottage cheese, add a bit more milk 1 tablespoon at a time. You don't want to add too much milk or the pudding will turn out too thin.
    • This recipe works best with a high power blender to get a nice smooth and creamy texture. I used my mini Ninja blender for this recipe.
    • I like to use Good Protein Powder in the vanilla, chocolate, or salted caramel flavors for this recipe. So good!
    • The nutritional information is based on about a half cup serving of the pudding. It does not include the maple syrup, chocolate shaving or berries since those are optional add-ins.
