🎯 Why These Swaps Work
- Powdered peanut butter retains peanut flavor with a fraction of the fat and calories.
- Sugar-free syrup or monk fruit syrup drops carbs/sugar to near-zero.
- Stevia-sweetened chocolate chips give you that indulgent bite with far fewer points.
- Low-fat (1%) cottage cheese offers creaminess and protein with fewer points than full-fat.
🥄 Instructions (Same Process, Adjusted for Ingredients)
- In a medium bowl, combine:
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered peanut butter (like PB2)
- ¼ cup sugar-free vanilla protein powder
- 2 tbsp sugar-free syrup
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Mix thoroughly using a fork or small whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Add a pinch of salt or cinnamon if desired for depth of flavor.
- If using, fold in 1 tbsp of stevia-sweetened chocolate chips.
- Chill for 15–30 minutes to firm it up (optional), or enjoy immediately.
- Portion into ½-cup servings and store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
🍽 Serving Size
