⭐ Creamy • No churn • Takes 5 minutes
Ingredients (1–2 servings)
- 1½ cups frozen fruit
(banana, strawberries, mango, or mixed berries) - ½–¾ cup cottage cheese (full-fat = creamiest)
- 1 scoop protein powder
(vanilla or chocolate works best) - 2–4 tbsp milk (as needed for blending)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Sweetener to taste (optional): stevia, monk fruit, honey, etc.
Instructions
- Add everything to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until thick and smooth
– Stop and scrape sides as needed.
– Add milk slowly so it stays ice-cream thick. - Serve immediately like soft-serve
OR freeze 30–60 minutes to firm up.
