Blending cottage cheese with vanilla and a little maple syrup turns it into something closer to cheesecake filling. Layering it with berries and granola makes a parfait that's mostly protein.
Why this recipe works
Blending removes the curds and makes a smooth, rich base. Adding granola last keeps it crunchy.
Ingredient notes
Granola usually contains oats processed with wheat; use certified gluten-free granola if needed.
Common mistakes
- Adding granola too early.
- Under-blending.
What to serve with it
Lemon zest or a few mint leaves.
Meal prep
Whipped base keeps 4 days; assemble daily.
