Blending cottage cheese for breakfast has quickly become a popular thing to do. You can add in so many things to make it a filling meal. Blended cottage cheese recipes can be sweet or savory and are so versatile!

Blending Cottage Cheese – What’s the Point?

The point is – it’s delicious! It’s also super high in protein. Blended cottage cheese takes on a whole new life. It’s thick, smooth, cheesy, and creamy. It’s similar to a Greek yogurt consistency. Cottage cheese contains small or large curds which gives it its chunky texture. So when those get blended up, it creates a delicious whipped cottage cheese.

Cottage cheese recipes can be used for a sweet or savory dip, protein breakfast bowls, cottage cheese toast, cottage cheese cookie dough, or even cheesecake.

Blending Cottage Cheese – Ingredients

Full fat cottage cheese – that’s it! You can add ingredients after it’s blended to make it sweet like honey, maple syrup, or vanilla. Or add spices and herbs to make it more savory.

But the base recipe is only one ingredient and it’s great as is!

Low-fat cottage cheese will work, but depending on the brand, may not be quite as thick and come out pretty watery. I recommend just using full-fat or 2% milk cottage cheese.

Blending Cottage Cheese – How To Make

There are three ways to go about making blended cottage cheese. The options include:

1. In a high speed blender
2. In a food processor
3. With an immersion blender

First, add your cottage cheese to either a blender, food processor, or a large jar or bowl an immersion blender can fit inside. Blend on high for about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of your container with a spatula, and resume blending until the blended cheese is thick and creamy.About 2 minutes.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
