Ingredients You'll Need
- Strawberries: ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

The protein content in cottage cheese is approximately 9-15 grams of protein (per 100 grams), the exact amount varies based on the brand and fat content. Low fat cottage cheese brands tend to have a little more protein.
- Maple syrup: optional, for extra sweetness. Use refined sugar-free, organic Grade A maple syrup.
- Optional toppings: sliced strawberries, fresh berries, chia seeds, mint leaves, or crushed almonds.
See recipe card for the quantified full list of ingredients.
