A “Good Idea” Pudding(s)
This is not a recipe I made up. It’s more of an “idea” that I’ve heard buff fitness people make. The few times I’ve been eating my protein pudding outside of my home people have asked me what I’m eating. When I tell them they almost always say, “Oh that’s a good idea.” Which is why I’m calling it A “Good Idea” pudding, in honor of whoever the first person was to throw these ingredients into a blender. I eat A “Good Idea” protein pudding when I’m in a hurry, when I’m feeling sort of lazy, or when I’m crave-ish, which happens to be 7-10 days every month. Unfortunately.
A “Good Idea” Pudding
1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese
1 scoop of whey protein powder (I prefer chocolate.)
1 tsp agave nectar or other natural sweetener (optional)
That’s it. Put it in a blender (I use a little Cuisinart rip-off machine) and blend until smooth. I personally think this tastes delicious and I don’t use any extra sweetener. But I haven’t had refined sugar in 9 months so I’m not too hard to please right now! But be assured, I did give a bite to my husband and he said it was good! And he is a food snob. No offense love!
If you are a total WHOLE FOODIST and the idea of whey protein makes you want to gag and your stomach muscles cramp then try Another “Good Idea” Pudding.
Another “Good Idea” Pudding
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 banana
1 tsp agave nectar or other natural sweetener (optional)
Once again put it all in a blender and give it a whirl. Top it with some crushed walnuts and you make be able to trick yourself into thinking you’re eating a fancy dessert.

I love this “good idea”. I will try it.
Dear Jenn,
I’m really appreciating your recipes. Thanks for the pudding idea. (Usually I eat 2 heaping teaspoons of Ben ‘n Jerry’s ice cream….)
Your commitment and truth telling is soooo impressive and inspirational. May God your Father lift you up as you continue to work towards your goals.

Hey Jenn! I told my husband about this recipe and he loved the idea so much he decided to add cottage cheese to his daily protein smoothies. He said it really thickened and “creamed” them up. He loves it. Thanks!!!
Hey Rach! Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad your hubby likes it.
