Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- ¼ cup granola
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese and pumpkin to blender: Place 1 cup of cottage cheese and ½ cup of pumpkin puree into a high-speed blender, setting the foundation for a smooth, creamy base.
- Add honey, cinnamon, and vanilla: Pour in 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup as preferred), sprinkle ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract to infuse warmth and sweetness.
- Blend until completely smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed for 30–45 seconds until thick and creamy. Scrape down the blender sides as necessary to ensure even mixing.

Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for the smoothest texture.
- Chill the bowl for a few minutes before serving for an extra refreshing bite.
- Taste before adding more sweetener as pumpkin’s natural sweetness can vary.
- Add protein powder to boost protein content without altering the taste much.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup as preferred.
- Top with chopped nuts or seeds instead of granola for variety.
- Blend the ingredients ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days; stir and add toppings before serving.
