Approximate nutrition (per serving)

  • Calories: ~150–250 kcal
  • Protein: ~12–20 g (mostly from cottage cheese)
  • Fat: ~5–12 g (depends on low-fat vs full-fat cottage cheese)
  • Carbohydrates: ~8–20 g (mainly from sweetener or fruit added)
  • Sugar: ~5–15 g
  • Fiber: ~1–3 g (from cocoa powder, optional add-ins)

What changes the numbers most

  • Cottage cheese type: full-fat can nearly double fat and calories compared to low-fat
  • Sweetener: honey, sugar, dates, or maple syrup increase carbs quickly
  • Add-ins: banana, peanut butter, or protein powder can significantly change macros

Important reality check

This dessert is often marketed as “high-protein and healthy,” which is partly true, but it’s still energy-dense if you add sweeteners or nut butters. It can easily go from a light snack to a high-calorie dessert depending on portions.
