Notes
Doesn’t taste like cottage cheese — blending makes it smooth and neutral.
Add peanut butter or Nutella swirls for extra flavor.
For a crunch, mix in granola or crushed cookies.
Use berries, mango, banana, or your favorite mix-ins.
Let sit at room temp for 5 minutes before scooping for best texture.
