Creamy Cottage Cheese Berry Bites
These creamy cottage cheese berry bites are a small, nutrient-dense snack designed for people on GLP-1 medications with low appetite. They provide high-quality protein and gentle sweetness in a small volume, making it easier to meet protein needs without feeling overly full or triggered by strong smells.
Ingredients
- 200 g low-fat cottage cheese — chilled
- 60 g greek yogurt, plain — chilled
- 80 g mixed berries, fresh or frozen — roughly chopped if large
- 20 g whey or plant protein powder, vanilla or unflavored — ready to mix
- 10 g ground flaxseed — ready to use optional
- 10 g honey or maple syrup — liquid optional
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the low-fat cottage cheese and greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle the protein powder over the dairy mixture and stir slowly until completely smooth and well combined, adding a teaspoon or two of water if the mixture is too thick.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries so they are evenly distributed without crushing them too much.
- If using, stir in the ground flaxseed for extra fiber and drizzle the honey or maple syrup over the top for light sweetness.
- Divide the mixture into two small bowls or jars, cover, and chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes to firm slightly before serving.
Tips for GLP-1 users
If your appetite is very low, start with half a portion, eat slowly, and save the rest for later—this snack is concentrated in protein and calories, so even a few spoonfuls can help you meet your needs on GLP-1 medication.
Use very cold ingredients and keep added flavors mild; cooler, neutral foods are often easier to tolerate when appetite is low or nausea is a concern.
