As someone who loves both cottage cheese and peanut butter, this high protein spread helps curb any peanut butter cravings. It's blended together powdered peanut butter, cottage cheese, and banana, for a delicious peanut flavored spread for my morning yogurt. For the same serving, there is only 1/4 of the calories, and over twice the amount of protein per 100 calories. You can also check out any of my other nut butter recipes!

- 1 cup (226 g) Nonfat cottage cheese
- 1 medium (110 g) Banana, overripe
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (60 g) Powdered peanut butter
- 1 tbsp (10 g) Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (2.5 g) Almond extract

1. Blend together cottage cheese, powdered peanut butter, overripe banana, cinnamon, and almond extract in a small food processor. Transfer to an airtight container, and store in the fridge. Optionally garnish with peanuts and chickpeas as I did here

Notes

1. Pureed chickpeas can be used instead of cottage cheese, but you will want to add about 1/2 cup (120 g) of unsweetened almond milk and 1/4 tsp (1.5 g) salt. This makes 18 servings of 2 tbsp (31 g), as compared to 13 servings of 2 tbsp (31 g) each for the cottage cheese variation. Nutrition facts per serving are below
