Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons raw honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups cottage cheese
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
- 2 scoops collagen
- 1/4 cup smooth almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter
Instructions
- Place raspberries in a shallow bowl or plate. Add chia seeds and mash with a fork until the mixture resembles a chunky sauce. Set aside to thicken slightly.
- In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine cottage cheese, honey, vanilla extract, protein powder, and collagen. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Spoon a layer of the cheesecake mixture into serving cups or jars.
- Add a layer of mashed raspberry mixture, followed by a drizzle of nut butter.
- Repeat the layers once more, dividing ingredients evenly among the cups.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cups to set before serving.
Notes
- Swap raspberries with strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries.
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different sweetness profile.
- Add cinnamon or lemon zest to the cheesecake base for extra flavor.
- Top with nuts, coconut flakes, or cacao nibs for texture.
