Story: Simple Ingredients, Big Surprise
This recipe started when we had one ripe banana left and a tub of cottage cheese no one wanted to finish. Instead of wasting them, we blended everything with a little syrup and cinnamon—and wow! Even my picky cousin said, “This taste like banana pudding!” Now, we always keep some ready in the fridge for snack or dessert.

👩‍🍳 How to Make It
1. Blend It Smooth
In a blender, add the cottage cheese, ripe banana, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Blend for a minute or two until the texture becomes smooth and creamy, like pudding.
2. Serve or Chill
Pour the mixture into a bowl. You can enjoy it right away with cookies or fresh fruit, or place it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes if you like it colder and thicker.
