Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese I recommend 1% or 2%, no salt added if possible
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter or other nut/seed butter
  • 1 serving vanilla protein powder
  • 1 ½ tsp blue spirulina
  • 1 tbsp collagen optional, for texture and joint support
  • 1 cup cookies broken into pieces (choose high-protein or clean-ingredient cookies)

Instructions

  • Blend together all of the ingredients, except cookies.
  • If not using an ice cream maker, stir cookies into mixture and freeze overnight. Let sit on the counter for 10 minutes to thaw and enjoy!
  • If using the Ninja creami, pour into the pint, place storage lid on top, and freeze for 24 hours. Replace the lid with the processing lid, attach to the base, and select ice cream. When finished, remove the pint and lid. With a spoon, create a 1 ½-inch wide hold that reaches the bottom of the pint. Add the broken cookies to the hole and process again using the MIX-IN program. Remove and enjoy!
