🛒 Ingredients
Makes 4 cups
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
½ cup low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1–2 tablespoons sugar-free or zero-calorie sweetener, to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, as needed
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
Optional: 2 tablespoons light whipped topping for extra fluffiness
👩🍳 Instructions
Blend the base: Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, powdered peanut butter, peanut butter, vanilla, sweetener, and salt to a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth: Process for about 30–60 seconds until creamy and completely smooth.
Adjust the texture: Add almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture reaches a thick but fluffy consistency.
Fold in chocolate chips: Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Make it extra fluffy: If desired, fold in the light whipped topping.
Chill: Divide into 4 small cups or jars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the fluff becomes thicker and colder.
Serve: Top with a tiny drizzle of peanut butter and a few extra chocolate chips before serving. 🥜🍫
💡 Tips
Use chocolate protein powder for a double-chocolate peanut butter flavor.
For a stronger peanut butter taste, add another tablespoon of powdered peanut butter.
Sugar-free mini chocolate chips can reduce the added sugar.
Keep refrigerated and enjoy within 2–3 days.
