I'm playing around with ideas for post-op & thought I would share what I tried today. I hate the texture of cottage cheese, but have learned that it's much better when run through the food processor until smooth. I eyeballed the amounts, so the amounts I listed are just my best guess of what I used & may need to be adjusted. It has a smooth, rich texture that made me think of cheesecake.

1 chopped medium apple

3/4-1 cup cottage cheese

1 Tbsp apple pie spice

1 tsp vanilla

3 heaping Tbsp unflavored Protein powder

1 Tbsp honey

Process until smooth. Makes about 2 cups, so there are several servings.

I did a second version with about 4 Tbsp pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup instead of honey. Both were yummy!

So tying this tomorrow. I am having so much trouble getting the protein down! Thank you so much! Yaa!

Let me know what you think!

You can add protein powder to this and some milk to help it absorb. You cannot taste the 'chalk' in the cheese.

Yum! I am mot allowed raw apple yet but I bet you could use baby applesauce or pumpkin puree. You could also try a splash of lemon juice.
