Want something delicious to top off your muffin, slice of cake, breakfast cookie or whatever you might want to add a bit of icing to without it being just a bunch of sugar? How about an icing that isn’t too sweet, is rich in protein and tastes like cream cheese frosting?

Get your mini food processor out and let’s make a batch of protein icing. You control how sweet you want it. A little sweet or a lot sweet – it’s up to you.

1/2 cup cottage cheese (60 grams)

1/4 cup cream cheese (30 grams)

1 scoop vanilla protein powder **

1 TB powdered sugar or maple syrup *

* can use any sweetener of choice, but adjust the amount appropriately, to your taste

** you can make this without using the protein powder; you may want to add a smidge of vanilla extract & it will be lower in protein, but still a nice protein icing

Blend it up in a mini food processor. It will become creamy. Place contents in a glass jar & store in the fridge if you don’t use it right away.

ENJOY. Immensely. Every. Single. Bite. No judgement if you eat it straight out of the jar.
