  1. In a medium bowl, combine together (blended) cottage cheese, protein powder, and vanilla extract
Notes
  1. You can also use an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese, though you'll need to add 1/2 tsp (3 g) salt
  2. To make this into a chocolate frosting, add 4 tbsp (20 g) cocoa powder
    1. Unlike storebought frostings, which are filled with added sugars, inflammatory fats, food dye, preservatives, and loads of other junk, this homemade frosting contains no added sugar and fat, while being low calorie and high protein.
