Find yourself a partner that loves you the way this man loves cottage cheese

Get this comment to the top! Lol

[@Aweseomedude]

Hell yeah, I've been looking for cottage cheese recipes and this guy delivers. Cottage cheese and greek yogurt have awesome macros

[@evh3811]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@bananaman6324]

I’ve trained myself to go from not standing Greek yogurt to loving it and I believe I can do this with cottage cheese as well

[@carrieleotis7010]

Could probably use plain Greek yogurt tbh. I like cottage cheese, but you will prob get used to it when blended and not lumpy.

[@rubenuribe]

Blend it! The texture generally ruins it for me, but it’s so good blended.

[@evh3811]

Cottage cheese is awesome, I always was like “I’m not eating that!” Then I tried it and was blown away

[@MrBelcher2023]

Hey Chef, I found that if I use any amount of milk it will be a liquid sludge bowl... Not very good. But without milk it is perfect! Great recipe I just needed to change it a little to come out like a brownie.

[@RipCityStreetfighter503]

Good: it taste good enough to eat with or without cooking it in the microwave or oven. Bad: if you follow his instructions it won’t turn out like his. If you follow the instructions the texture is closer to the inner gooey part of a lava cake. Also you need to let it cool for 5 minutes I’m going to add an egg which will help the ingredients emulsify after blending.

[@saramarques7986]

This recipe came out very tasty but I made a lot of changes because I don't have whey protein powder. I just have egg white protein powder which is unflavored. So these are the changes I made and if someone needs it's a good recipe but tasted more like a Flourless chocolate souffle cheesecake and not like a Brownie. But again, it's because of the changes I made and because the egg white protein powder makes it airy and light 280g cottage cheese 139g water 68g egg white protein powder (flavorless) 8g baking powder Salt and vanilla extract and 1 tsp instant coffee powder 99g eritrithol 31g unsweetened cocoa powder It cooked at 160°C for 25 min in the oven. I wanted a bigger recipe so I converted the measurements to give me a standard size brownie. Overall I liked but again, this came out like a Flourless chocolate souffle cheesecake, but it's light and delicious!

[@Cg-gi2dm]

Mine never got solid like a brownie and bubbled up over the dish. A mess.

[@Wealth.is.Health]

Cottage cheese king is back with another banger 🔥👑🔥

[@karl2890]

Looks good!! I will try this today. Thank you for all your hard work! I really enjoy your website and KZbin videos!

[@ady_kotidou]

I absolutely love cottage cheese!

[@entrepreneerit4490]

This channel is so good. You make simple, healthy ingredients into amazing treats.

[@davidpouler9992]

Can't wait to try this

[@CodingGlobeTrotter]

I tried it 3 times and it won't cook. It just turns in to hot chocolate. I used a big mug because it's all I had and it spilling out. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

[@saramarques7986]

I was about to make it today or tomorrow. Thank you for pointing out. I'm going to add one egg to be sure it cooks. Let it cool also before trying to eat it, it probably will set

[@CodingGlobeTrotter]

@@saramarques7986 Putting one egg is a good idea. Will try it.

[@jlamb2760]

@@saramarques7986 Letting it cool didn't make any difference for me. It's just like a thick hot chocolate. It did nothing but overflow in the microwave and never managed to get to a brownie-like consistency. The taste is good, but I'm really disappointed in the outcome.

[@jeremykorger8202]

Use half casein and half whey protein powder

[@jlamb2760]

​@jeremykorger8202 I use casein in other baking recipes and it works great. It did not work with this recipe.

[@Mammert34]

I followed the recipe as described but for some reason it doesn’t want to cook…I have given it 1-2-3 minutes and it only melts and it overflows from the mug.

[@saramarques7986]

Try to substitute the milk for one egg

[@jeremykorger8202]

Use half casein and half whey protein powder

[@jlamb2760]

This did NOT turn into a brownie like consistency at all. All it does is overflow and stay at a mud-like consistency. The taste is good, but I'd prefer an actual brownie and not chocolate flavored sludge.

[@jkp17]

Same. What are we doing wrong?

[@jlamb2760]

@@jkp17 Adding 1/4 cup flour did the trick. I stirred it in after blitzing the other ingredients and microwaved everything in a bowl this time for 3 minutes.

[@kausikvenkat]

Thanks for sharing this! I tried this recipe 3 times today and the best one came like half a sludge and half pasty

[@randygod1]

Brilliant having you back!!

[@Status_Bleach]

What is half a cup and what is one scoop. Can you specify quantities in grams

[@backagain5216]

Google the amount conversions.

[@christiana6018]

1 scoop of protein powder is generally 31-32 grams although I’ve only ever bought 2 types of protein powder

[@emollient3]

I still eat your recipe of cottage cheese mixed into a bowl with chocolate protein powder and peanut butter powder as a go 2 after hard gym days. This is definitely a level up🏋

[@marceloloayza4273]

Thanks again Protein Chef; coming through again. Also, I have tried pretty much all the meal preps out there since Freshly stopped delivering. Cook Unity is hands down my favorite. No, I am not sponsored :)

[@SalviArtzSalvadorM]

97 grams! love the texture of cottage cheese in deserts

[@tommydip5]

Can Greek yogurt be used? Chocolate and cottage cheese don’t hit my pallet in the best way. Thanks!!

[@asadburden1621]

Low or No-fat Cottage Cheese is surprisingly flavorless. So I think it won't impact the flavor as much as you think.

[@jeremykorger8202]

For those it turns out soupy, don't just use whey protein. I did that the first try and it's a mess. 2nd round I did half whey and half casein and it was much better.

[@antonioviganotti]

This is soooo good❤❤

[@mamathemeat]

Love your content 🎉

[@dylans2669]

There are a lot of different protein powders out there with widely varying tastes and contents. Have you thought about doing these recipes with an unflavored/unadulterated protein powder. I personally use hydrolyzed whey protein isolate powder that does not include additives besides sunflower lecithin. That means that there is no sweetener or extra flavorings. But this leaves me a bit confused on how to adapt your recipes.

[@Thepokechoprx]

Damn I really should have bought some cottage cheese stock about 2 months ago 😂. Walnuts 180gm

[@P2thaR]

A quick, simple brownie... gotta love that! 87g

[@LennyMLGDorito]

thank you for the cottage cheese recipes, they all go well with casein powder and I just can't stand drinking plain casein shakes 😅

[@FallenWrath]

can anyone recommend a good protein powder? cheers

[@beckyorstevejohnson7838]

If you were in the US, we get ours from Costco, especially when it’s on sale lol. The brand is Orgain and is very good.

[@Sockenkatze309]

Can I use anything else than protein powder?😅😊

[@chrischavanu7561]

Could you do a Crumbl Cookie protein copy cat for their sugar cookie base and a protein frosting????

[@Amelidylle]

Brownie looks delish! I guess about 80 gr of Walnuts there 😊

[@LeaAnne94]

Oooh this with Fairlife chocolate milk

Protein powder is like the flour to that recipe, so maybe not
