Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, sliced and frozen
  • 1/2 cup (120g) cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons (32g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Toppings (choose your favorites):
  • Sliced fresh banana
  • Granola or toasted oats
  • Chopped peanuts or mixed nuts
  • Cacao nibs or chocolate chips
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes
  • Chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • Drizzle of peanut butter or honey

Instructions

  1. Slice 2 large ripe bananas and freeze them in a single layer for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  2. Add frozen banana slices, cottage cheese, almond milk, peanut butter, protein powder, vanilla extract, honey or maple syrup (if using), and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender.
  3. Blend on low, then increase speed until the mixture is completely smooth and thick (about 1-2 minutes). Add a splash of almond milk if too thick, or extra frozen banana/ice cubes if too runny.
  4. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Aim for a soft-serve texture.
  5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Pour the mixture into a bowl and create gentle swirls on top.
  7. Add your favorite toppings: sliced banana, granola, nuts, berries, coconut flakes, cacao nibs, seeds, and a drizzle of peanut butter or honey.
  8. Serve immediately while cold and creamy.

Notes

For dairy-free, use coconut yogurt or silken tofu instead of cottage cheese and plant-based protein powder. For nut-free, substitute sunflower seed butter. Prep extra frozen bananas for busy mornings. Taste and adjust sweetness before serving. The base can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 24 hours; add toppings just before serving.
