This simple protein fluff recipe comes together quickly and makes a delicious, sweet, and fluffy dessert that’s high in protein and sugar-free!
This high-protein “fluff” is made with cottage cheese, peanut butter, and sweetener. It’s whipped in a food processor, creating a soft and fluffy pudding with a lovely texture and sweet peanut butter fluff.
How To Make Protein Fluff
For this recipe, you will need cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat), peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a sweetener of choice (I used monk fruit).
Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, vanilla, and sweetener into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Scoop the fluff into a storage container and refrigerate until ready to eat.
Serve alone or topped with fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips!
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap cottage cheese with dairy-free Greek yogurt.
- Nut-Free Alternative: Use sunflower seed butter or tahini instead of peanut butter.
- Sweetener Options: If you’re not using monk fruit, try erythritol, stevia, or allulose. For non-keto options, honey or maple syrup works well.
- Flavor Variations: Add a tablespoon of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist, or mix in cinnamon for a warm, spiced flavor.
Protein Fluff FAQ
What does protein fluff taste like?

Can I use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese?
Yes! Greek yogurt works as a great substitute for cottage cheese and provides a slightly tangier taste.
