High-Protein Low-Carb Berry Fluff Dessert Cups
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Chill Time: 30–60 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 scoop (about 30 g) vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup frozen mixed berries (slightly thawed)
2–3 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
½ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional, for extra fluffiness)
Fresh berries, for garnish
Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
Add the frozen berries and blend again until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and fluffy.
If you’d like an extra-light mousse texture, sprinkle in the xanthan gum while blending for 20–30 seconds.
Divide the mixture evenly into four dessert cups.
Chill for 30–60 minutes, or enjoy immediately for a soft-serve consistency.
Garnish with a few fresh berries and mint before serving.

Tips
For an even thicker dessert, freeze the cups for 20–30 minutes before serving.
Use strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for the lowest carb count.
Top with a sprinkle of crushed almonds, unsweetened coconut flakes, or sugar-free whipped cream for extra texture.
