Description
A creamy, tropical, no-bake pudding made with cottage cheese, pineapple, and coconut. High in protein, budget-friendly, and ideal for healthy dessert lovers or busy families.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup canned pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons shredded coconut
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1–2 tablespoons honey (or any sweetener that fits your plan)
Instructions
Blend the base: Toss cottage cheese, pineapple, and honey in a blender. It takes 30 seconds to get it silky smooth.
Add some texture: Stir in shredded coconut and chia seeds for body and crunch.
Chill (or don’t): If you have time, chill it for 30+ minutes. If not, it’s ready right away.
Serve it up: I like adding a sprinkle of coconut or an extra pineapple bite. It’s like sunshine in a spoon.
Notes
To make it vegan, swap cottage cheese with a plant-based version and use maple syrup or agave instead of honey.
Top with fresh berries, granola, or shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Ideal for meal prep—store in jars for grab-and-go healthy snacks.
