Cottage Berry Whip Recipe Perfect Frozen Summer Treat

This Cottage Berry Whip Recipe Perfect Frozen Summer Treat is a family favorite. If you love sherbet or any frozen berry dessert you will probably love this tasty spring/summer treat! It is one of the easiest and if made correctly it is both healthy, slimming, and filling! It is packed with protein and you won’t even be able to tell the base is cottage cheese.

You may have your doubts as I did in the beginning… How can one turn cottage cheese into something SO delicious? Well, let me tell you, you won’t really get the taste of cottage cheese by the time you finish with this cottage cheese berry whip recipe!

Not only does this healthy treat work as a dessert but it can also be used as a super easy snack or even a healthy breakfast option! My little guys LOVE it! And as I said earlier, it’s high in protein, so it’s filling as well.

First, though, let’s talk about the benefits of cottage cheese for informational purposes.

Cottage cheese is:

• High in protein 
• A great source of Calcium 
• Full of B12
• Potassium 
• Vitamin A

Some people don’t like cottage cheese all by itself, if that is you, not only are you getting all these good benefits, you get to enjoy this whipped cottage cheese as a frozen dessert! This may just change your mind about cottage cheese!

The creamy texture that blended cottage cheese gives, is SO good!

What Kind Of Cottage Cheese To Use?

You can use regular cottage cheese… 

Really, I have done it with all kinds and all brands, you really can’t go wrong with your choice. Just grab whatever you can from the grocery store or use homemade, it really doesn’t matter. 

What Kind Of Berry’s To Use

You can use fresh berries but, it won’t be a frozen dessert, it will be more like a shake. 

We use, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries… Whatever you have on hand to make this healthy dessert, just use it! And by mixing and matching your berries each time, you can get a variety of flavors. 

Adding berries to this dessert is an easy way to get your kids to eat more fresh produce. There are a lot of great ways to sneak produce in, and anything blended, is a great opportunity for this. I have tossed a handful of fresh spinach into recipes like this, and no one is the wiser for it!

Cottage Berry Whip 

Berry Whip

2 cups Cottage Cheese

2 cups. Frozen Berries (your choice)

1 Tbs. Lemon Juice 

1/2 cup. Maple syrup or your favorite sweetener (add to taste)

Directions:

Add all ingredients to a blender or a food processor and blend the crazies out of it. 

You will probably have to scrape down the edges with a rubber spatula every little bit. 

Once it looks fully incorporated blend for at least 1 min. 

You want it completely smooth, once it is completely smooth, give it a good stir.

Pour it into your dish and enjoy!

Storing

If you want to keep it as a frozen dessert, store leftovers in an airtight container. If you want to keep it as a smoothie, set it in the refrigerator. 

For fun, you can also pour it into popsicle molds and drop it in the freezer. My kids LOVE this treat on a hot day as popsicles, totally takes care of snacks. On top of that, I know they are getting the delicious health benefits from it too, and NONE of the yucky ingredients in most frozen treats.

This recipe that I use was inspired by Trim Healthy Mama and this, is just our family version of it! You can find the original recipe in the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook. If you are not familiar with Trim Healthy Mama, I highly recommend checking them out. I don’t adhere to every single thing they teach about eating however, I love that they do not cut out any food groups. They basically teach you how to separate foods to fuel your body during weight loss. This was and is and will always be extremely helpful to me as I continue to eat whole foods and maintain a healthy weight.

I hope your spring and summer seasons are lovely! If you enjoyed this recipe you may also enjoy these ones too!
