This High-Protein Cottage Cheese Bark is a family favorite for a healthy snack that satisfies your sweet tooth but also has protein in it.

  • Prep Time: 10 mins
  • Total Time: 3 hours

Yield: 10-12 pieces 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or sub your go-to nut butter)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • Toppings: chocolate chips, peanut butter, more banana

Instructions

  1. Blend your base: Add the cottage cheese, banana, peanut butter, and honey or maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy – no lumps. This should only take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pro tip: Scrape down the sides to make sure everything gets blended evenly. It should have a whipped, yogurt-like texture.
  3. Spread it out: Line a small baking sheet (like a quarter or half sheet pan) with parchment paper. Pour the blended cottage cheese mixture onto the tray and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer, about ¼ to ½ inch thick.
  4. Add toppings: Now for the fun part – decorate your bark with whatever toppings your heart desires. Drizzle on extra peanut butter, scatter chocolate chips, lay down some banana slices… let your inner snack artist shine.
  5. Freeze: Pop the tray into your freezer for at least 3 hours, or until the bark is fully set and frozen solid. You want it to be easy to break into pieces without being too icy.
  6. Break + snack! Once it’s frozen, lift the bark out of the tray using the parchment paper and break it into chunks or slices. Store in a freezer-safe container or bag and keep frozen until ready to snack.

Notes

*Store in freezer for 1 month in a sealed bag or container.
