This Protein Strawberry Fluff is a light, creamy, and protein-packed dessert or snack that combines fresh strawberries, cottage cheese, and strawberry protein powder. It's whipped to perfection with heavy cream, creating a fluffy, smooth treat perfect for a nutritious indulgence or a healthy dessert option.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup chopped fresh strawberries
  • 5 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 3 scoops strawberry protein powder (or vanilla protein powder)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, ¾ cup of chopped fresh strawberries, 5 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, 3 scoops of strawberry or vanilla protein powder, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Set aside to allow it to thicken slightly.
  2. Whip Cream: Using a stand mixer or a handheld electric mixer, whip 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means the cream should hold its shape firmly when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Fold Mixtures: Gently fold the thickened strawberry and protein mixture into the whipped cream. Use a spatula to combine carefully, ensuring the mixture stays light and fluffy without deflating the whipped cream.
  4. Serve or Chill: Serve the Protein Strawberry Fluff immediately as a dip or portion into ½ cup servings. Alternatively, transfer the fluff to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve, which also helps it to set better.

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • You can substitute vanilla protein powder if strawberry flavor is not available.
  • For a lighter alternative, use reduced-fat cottage cheese and whipped topping instead of heavy cream, though texture will vary.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • This fluff works great as a healthy dessert, snack, or fresh fruit dip.
