Chocolate Protein Pudding (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 220g (1 cup) cottage cheese
02 - 16g (3 tbsp) cocoa powder
03 - 12g (2 tbsp) whey protein powder
04 - 30g (3 tbsp) allulose, or use 2 tbsp if swapping for another sweetener
05 - 1 tsp of vanilla extract

→ Optional Toppings

06 - A sprinkle of cocoa powder
07 - Whipped cream on top
08 - Some fresh berries for garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Toss everything (cottage cheese, cocoa powder, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla) into a blender, food processor, or a tall container if using an electric mixer. Blend for about a minute until the mixture is completely smooth. Make sure to pause every so often to scrape the sides with a spatula so you don't miss any bits.
02 - Spoon the creamy chocolate mix into two cups evenly. You can enjoy it right away at room temperature or pop it in the fridge to chill before serving. Add any extras you like, such as cocoa dusting, whipped cream, or berries, for that final touch.

# Notes:

01 - Each serving is loaded with 19.1g of protein and only 5.4g net carbs.
02 - Store this dessert in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
03 - Not freezer-friendly, as freezing and thawing change the texture significantly.
04 - If you're using a sweetener other than allulose, start with 2 tablespoons instead of 3—most other options taste sweeter.
