- Sprinkle seeds and chocolate chips: Evenly sprinkle 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or flaxseeds), ½ tablespoon hemp seeds, and 1 tablespoon mini dark chocolate chips (optional) on top to add crunch and an extra nutrient boost.
- Top with fruit and nuts: Add ¼ cup sliced banana (or substitute with berries) and 1 tablespoon chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans for natural sweetness and texture contrast.

Notes
- You can customize the protein powder flavor to vanilla or chocolate based on preference.
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt and use vegan protein powder.
- Adjust the milk amount to achieve desired consistency—use more milk for a thinner texture.
- Optional blending step enhances creaminess but can be skipped for a chunkier texture.
- Dark chocolate chips add sweetness but can be omitted for a lower sugar option.
- Use fresh or frozen fruits; berries can replace bananas for variety.
