​​These High-Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Oats Will Keep You Full

Despite its virality on TikTok, I'm just not a cottage cheese girl. I desperately want to love it (it's packed with protein! Probiotics! B vitamins!), but I can't get past the curdy texture. I've tried to hide it in various recipes, but other than blending it up in a smoothie, nothing has made me forget about the bumpy yet creamy consistency. 

Cottage cheese is naturally high in protein, with an average range of 15 and 25 grams of protein per cup (depending on the brand), but you'll likely need a serving of high-quality protein powder to actually meet your daily protein goals. 

Our grass-fed whey protein isolate+ is a superb choice, with 25 grams of clean, bioavailable protein (plus 2.5 grams of leucine) to help keep you satiated, balance blood sugar, and support muscles and metabolism.* With the 15 or so grams you get from cottage cheese, you'll be well over that 30-gram threshold.* 

I recommend snagging the vanilla option for this recipe, as it adds a little something extra to the strawberry cheesecake flavor. It contains organic vanilla, pink Himalayan salt, organic monk fruit, and organic cinnamon—all ingredients you'd want in a light, fluffy dessert, no? But if you prefer a chocolate cheesecake moment, go ahead and use the chocolate version. You really can't go wrong. 

Simply place all the ingredients into a bowl or jar, mix until well combined, and store in the fridge for at least 3 hours (ideally overnight). In the morning, you'll have a decadent treat that, no lie, tastes like cheesecake.
