Healthy Cottage Cheese Snickers Bowl {High Protein}
Servings 3 servings
This decadent cottage cheese bowl combines creamy cottage cheese with sweet dates, vanilla protein powder, dark chocolate chips and peanuts, giving you that classic Snickers flavor in every bite. However, it's also packed with 23 grams of protein, so it makes a great option for a post workout snack, or as a filling breakfast or sweet treat. Keep a few bowls or jars in the fridge for easy meal prep!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 pitted Medjool dates (soaked)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsalted peanuts
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Soak the dates in a bowl of boiling hot water for 5-10 minutes to soften.
- In a small blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese, dates and protein powder until the dates have been fully broken down and the mixture is well-combined.
- Add the peanuts and chocolate chips and then pulse until slightly broken down (you still want some chunks of chocolate and peanuts for texture). Add the mixture to a jar and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. To serve, top with a few additional chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, a drizzle of peanut butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- For best results, don't rush soaking the dates. This really helps them break up nicely in the cottage cheese mixture so that you achieve a smooth consistency.
