INGREDIENTS

2 cups cottage cheese (16 ounce container), I used 2% Good Culture but full fat may result in creamier consistency

1 tablespoon sprinkles

1 tablespoon white chocolate chips

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1-2 tablespoons honey (will depend on how sweet your protein powder is, taste test and adjust) I recommend 2 Tbsp. for a sweeter flavor

2 scoops vanilla protein powder, optional

1/2 cup diced strawberries

1/4 cup water, optional – if blender gets stuck

Add cottage cheese, protein powder, honey and vanilla extract to a high-speed blender. Blend or puree until smooth and creamy. Add 1/4 cup of water and stir if blender gets stuck.

Pour the cottage cheese mixture onto a baking sheet (with sides) lined with parchment paper. Spread the mixture out using a spatula, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Evenly distribute sprinkles, then diced strawberries and white chocolate chips.

Refrigerate for 3 hours.

Cut into 8 pieces. Store in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months! For best taste and consistency, let thaw for 5 minutes prior to eating. Consume immediately because they do melt fast! If frozen for awhile, let it thaw out at room temperature for at least 10 minutes before eating.
