What You’ll Need
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup fresh or frozen dragon fruit (pitaya), diced
- 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Toppings: extra dragon fruit cubes, granola, or coconut flakes (optional)
Pro Tips
✔️ Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture. Low-fat versions work but won’t be as rich.
✔️ Frozen dragon fruit blends easier and makes the mixture extra cold and thick.
✔️ Blend longer if you want it super smooth—about 30-45 seconds should do the trick!
✔️ Sweetness is up to you! Taste and add more honey if you want it sweeter.
✔️ For extra protein, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender or food processor
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Small bowl for serving
- Spoon for mixing & topping
Substitutions & Variations
✨ Swap dragon fruit for strawberries, mango, or blueberries.
✨ Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a slightly different texture.
✨ Skip the honey for a lower-sugar version.
✨ Add chia seeds for extra fiber!
