Ingredients
Scale
The Whipped Base
- 1 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese (2% or 4%)
- 1 tsp Maple Syrup (or Honey)
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
The Sweet Toppings
- 1/2 cup Fresh Berries (Raspberries, Blueberries, or Strawberries)
- 1 tsp Chia Seeds (optional)
The Salty Side
- 1 oz Turkey Jerky (Nitrate-free)
- 12 Raw Almonds (approx. 1/2 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare Base: In a food processor or small blender, combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Whip: Process on high for 45-60 seconds. Stop to scrape down the sides, then blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy. There should be no graininess left.
- Wash Fruit: Wash berries and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel to prevent the cheese from getting watery.
- Assemble: Use a divided meal prep container.
- Pack Cheese: Spoon the whipped cottage cheese into the largest compartment. Top with the fresh berries.
- Pack Sides: Place the turkey jerky and almonds in the separate, dry compartment.
- Store: Seal lid tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Stir the cheese briefly before eating if any separation occurs.
Notes
- Savory Version: Omit maple/vanilla. Add a pinch of salt and top with Everything Bagel Seasoning, cucumbers, and smoked salmon.
- Texture Tip: Do not use fat-free cottage cheese, as it does not whip as smoothly and can become watery.
- Sweetener: You can substitute maple syrup with monk fruit sweetener for a lower sugar option.
