Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese: Protein-packed and creamy base, I used 1% cottage cheese.
- Monkfruit/Allulose: Natural sweetener with no added sugar. I used the granulated blend from Wholesome Yum.
- Lemon Juice & Zest: Adds a refreshing tang. Use fresh lemon juice.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor profile.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: Boosts the protein content. You can also use a scoop of collagen peptides. You can omit this if you don’t have any.
- Raspberries: Bursting with antioxidants and natural sweetness. I used fresh to blend in and frozen to top it.
How to Make Protein Cottage Cheese Bowls
Step 1: Prepare the base.
- Combine cottage cheese, sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and protein powder in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
Step 2: Assemble the bowl.
- Top the mixture with fresh raspberries and any toppings you like (chia seeds, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut for added texture).
Tips for the Best Protein Raspberry Cottage Cheese Bowl
- Want an even creamier texture? Use a full-fat cottage cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste by adding more or less monk fruit/allulose or use honey or maple syrup.
- Experiment with toppings: swap raspberries for blueberries or add granola for crunch.

Variations and Customizations
- Swap vanilla protein powder for another flavor. Sugar cookie is good but if you can find a cheesecake flavor, then you hit the jackpot. Other flavors to experiment with are chocolate, unflavored, pumpkin spice.
- Top with melted white chocolate for a little extra sweetness (I’m totally doing this next time).
