Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?

You can, but the texture will be a bit thinner and more tart. Cottage cheese creates a thicker, richer base for this kind of ice cream.

What berries work best for this recipe?

Strawberries and blueberries are great starters. Raspberries and blackberries add more tang, and mixed berry blends give a deep, vibrant flavor.

Can I make this dairy-free?

You can try with plant-based cottage cheese alternatives, but results will vary depending on the brand. Always taste-test before freezing.

How much protein is in one serving?

It depends on your ingredients, but one serving typically contains 12–15 grams of protein , making it a smart post-workout snack or balanced dessert.
