🍓 Easy Variations

• Extra chocolate: Add a few sugar-free chocolate chips.

• Lower sugar: Use a sugar-free sweetener and keep the strawberry portion modest.

💡 Pro Tip

For an especially smooth pudding, blend the cottage cheese completely before adding the other ingredients. You won’t taste the cottage cheese, but it gives the pudding a thick, creamy texture and extra protein.
