Dip Ingredients

16 ounces Greek Yogurt Plain, non-fat or 2%
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese Low fat, small curd

Method

Instructions

Ensure both the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are cold before beginning.
If using standard cottage cheese, transfer it along with the Greek yogurt to a high-speed blender or a food processor.
Blend the yogurt and cottage cheese until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary. This step ensures no lumps remain.
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon to the blender. Pulse several times until just combined and fully incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup. For a thicker dip, gently stir in 1 tablespoon of protein powder (optional enhancement).
Transfer the dip to an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
Serve chilled with your favorite fresh fruit slices.

Notes

For a chocolate version, add 1-2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder during step 4. Ensure your blender is powerful enough to handle the density of the yogurt and cottage cheese.
