~1T Maple Allulose Syrup (or more monk fruit)
~1/2oz freeze dried strawberries or raspberries
~2oz mixed berries (raspberries and blackberries)

DIRECTIONS:
~Blitz the freeze dried fruit in a mini blender until a powder forms.
~Add chia seeds, monk fruit, powdered fruit, and almond milk to a jar. Place lid on the jar and shake until well combined. (If you want higher protein add in a little vanilla protein powder in this step. You may need to add a bit more almond milk but make sure it’s mixed thoroughly)
~Divide the chia mixture evenly into two jars. Place in the fridge to set a few hours or overnight.
~Once set, mix 1 cup of cottage cheese (2 servings) with 1T allulose maple syrup (or feel free to use monk fruit) to sweeten it just a bit.
