Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 2%
- 1 cup greek yogurt plain 2%
- 1 scoop low carb vanilla protein powder 3 tbsp
- 1 tablespoon powdered sweetener sugar substitute
- 1 drop peppermint extract
- 1 drop natural green food coloring
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder and powdered sweetener to a blender. Start with less sweetener than you think you need; you can always add more to taste.
- Add one small drop of peppermint extract. Blend briefly, taste, and add another drop only if needed. Peppermint extract is strong; a little goes a long way.
- Add one small drop of natural green food coloring. Blend and check the color; add another drop only if you want a deeper green.
- Blend all ingredients on high until completely smooth with no lumps. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Pour evenly into 4 small jars or containers. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving; overnight gives the best thick, creamy texture.
- Top with whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings right before serving.
Notes
- Peppermint extract: brands vary in strength; start with one drop and taste before adding more
- Food coloring: completely optional; skip it entirely or use a tiny pinch of spirulina for a natural alternative
- Toppings: sugar free whipped cream keeps it fully diabetic friendly; dark chocolate shavings add a rich mint chocolate finish with minimal carbs
