Ingredients
1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
2 tbsp sugar-free or light instant vanilla pudding mix
1–2 tbsp powdered sweetener, to taste
½ tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, as needed
2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
Optional: 2 tbsp light whipped topping
Instructions
Add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, pudding mix, sweetener, vanilla, almond milk, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping the sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
For an extra fluffy texture, fold in the light whipped topping.
Divide the mixture between 4 small dessert cups.
Sprinkle a few additional mini chocolate chips on top.
Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours before serving so the fluff can thicken and chill.
💪 Protein Tips
Use a high-protein Greek yogurt and a protein powder with around 20–25 g protein per scoop. Blending the cottage cheese completely makes the texture smooth while adding extra protein.
Q&A
Q: Can I use chocolate protein powder?
Yes! Chocolate protein powder makes these cups even richer and more chocolate-forward.
Q: Can I skip the pudding mix?
Yes, although it helps thicken the fluff and gives it a dessert-like texture. You can use a little extra protein powder instead.
Q: What chocolate chips should I use?
Mini semi-sweet, dark chocolate, or sugar-free chocolate chips all work well.
Q: How long do they last?
Store covered in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
Q: Can I freeze these cups?
Yes, but the texture will become more ice-cream-like. Let them thaw slightly in the refrigerator before eating.
Q: Can I make this WW-friendly?
Yes. Choose fat-free Greek yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, a low-point protein powder, sugar-free pudding mix, and reduced-calorie or sugar-free mini chocolate chips. Exact WW Points depend on the brands and portions used.
