Why Cottage Cheese Ice Cream?
Unlike traditional ice cream, which is often high in sugar and low in nutrients, this high-protein, low-sugar version provides sustained energy without blood sugar crashes. Cottage cheese is rich in casein protein, which supports muscle repair, skin health, and metabolism. Plus, the combination of chia seeds and collagen powder adds extra benefits for gut and skin support.

150g (1 cup) frozen mixed berries

½ tbsp collagen powder (optional, for added protein and skin support)
A splash of almond milk (if needed for blending)
