High Protein Strawberry Ice Cream
Ingredients:
16 oz full-fat (4%) cottage cheese (I used Good Culture)
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, sliced
¼ cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Add cottage cheese, 1 cup strawberries, honey, and vanilla extract to a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Stir in remaining ½ cup fresh strawberries.
Pour ice cream mixture into an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan (or other similar sized glass container) and place in the freezer for at least 5 hours, or until hard.
Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to allow ice cream to soften so that you can easily scoop it (the consistency is a little different from regular ice cream, so it just takes a little extra thawing time).
