Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (smooth-blended or strained)
- 1 scoop vanilla isolate protein powder (zero-carb)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk or water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 cups ice cubes (for whipping into a fluffy texture)
- Optional: A pinch of xanthan gum (for extra fluff and thickness)
Instructions
1. Blend the Base
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the smooth cottage cheese, vanilla isolate protein powder, almond milk (or water), and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Ice and Whip
- Add the ice cubes (and xanthan gum, if using) into the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture expands, aerates, and transforms into a thick, creamy, ice-cream-like fluff.
3. Serve
- Transfer the fluff into a jar or glass container, swirl some extra whipped protein cream on top if desired, and enjoy immediately!
