This High-Protein Red, White and Blue Cottage Cheese Parfait is a quick and colorful breakfast or snack option packed with protein. Blending cottage cheese with vanilla protein powder creates a creamy, smooth base, which is then tinted naturally with butterfly pea flower powder for a vibrant blue layer. Layers of fresh strawberries and blueberries add sweetness and freshness, making this parfait both delicious and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Natural Coloring

  • 1 tsp butterfly pea flower powder

Fruit Layers

  • 1 cup strawberries, diced small
  • 1/2 cup blueberries

Instructions

  1. Blend Base Mixture: Add the cottage cheese and vanilla protein powder to a food processor or mini blender. Blend the cottage cheese until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there's an even consistency without lumps.
  2. Create Blue Layer: Spoon half of the blended cottage cheese mixture into a separate bowl. Add the butterfly pea flower powder to this portion and blend again until the mixture is evenly colored a vibrant blue.
  3. Assemble Parfaits: In two serving glasses or jars, begin layering the ingredients as follows: start with diced strawberries, then add a layer of the vanilla-flavored cottage cheese mixture, followed by a layer of the blue-colored cottage cheese. Top with fresh blueberries. If using taller jars, repeat these layers for added height and visual appeal.
  4. Serve or Store: Enjoy the parfaits immediately for the freshest taste or refrigerate until ready to serve. These parfaits are best served cold and make a refreshing, high-protein treat.

Notes

  • The butterfly pea flower powder adds a natural blue color without altering the flavor significantly.
  • Use fresh or frozen berries depending on availability; thaw frozen berries before assembling.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the berry layers if desired.
  • This parfait is a great option for a quick post-workout snack or a nutritious breakfast.
  • The recipe yields two servings but can be easily adjusted by doubling or halving the quantities.
