PEACHES AND COTTAGE CHEESE

I love a healthy breakfast and incorporating high protein like cottage cheese. My cottage cheese chocolate mousse inspired this recipe. But I love cottage cheese on toast or blended cottage cheese added to granola. It's such a versatile product and there is so much you can do with it and a little bit of imagination.

MAPLE SYRUP:

Feel free to adjust to taste, or substitute with agave syrup or honey if preferred.

CINNAMON:

Just a pinch of cinnamon enhances the sweetness and adds warmth.

📝 TIPS AND TRICKS

Blend Until Nice and Smooth – For that dreamy, creamy texture, make sure to blend until everything’s perfectly smooth. No chunks, just peachy goodness.

For Peachy Chunks – If you like a bit of bite, add a few extra peach slices towards the end and pulse a couple of times. This will give you those juicy peachy chunks throughout without overblending.

Scrape the Sides – Midway through blending, stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to make sure every last bit of cottage cheese and peach gets incorporated. Then, blend a little more to keep it all silky.

Chill It for Extra Creaminess – If you want a thicker, ice-cream-like texture, pop it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up. It’ll give you that spoonable, satisfying feel.

Customize the Sweetness – Add a little more or a little less maple syrup or honey to taste! This recipe is flexible, so make it just the way you like it.
