Method

Peel the banana³ and slice into ½-inch thick rounds.
Add cottage¹ cheese, yogurt, cocoa powder, and honey to a blender.
Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and lump-free.
Gently fold in the banana³ slices with a spoon—do not over-blend.
Serve immediately in small bowls or chill for up to 30 minutes.

Tips

Why it works: Mix the cottage cheese and yogurt first to avoid lumps from the banana’s moisture. Stir until smooth so the texture stays even.
Substitutions: Use 60g applesauce for banana to reduce sweetness; swap cocoa for 10g instant coffee if you prefer. Skip honey if using sweetened yogurt.
Common mistakes: Overmixing turns the dessert grainy. Stop when banana slices are just coated. If it smells sour, the yogurt was spoiled.
Storing and reheating: Eat within 2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15 seconds if the banana softens too much; otherwise, serve cold.
Serve with: Pair with a handful of walnuts for crunch or eat after a savory lunch to balance flavors.

In short

Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
