Equipment
- 1 High-Speed Blender or Food Processor
Ingredients
- 16 oz. low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt 112g
- 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach cooked, cooled and squeezed dry
- 1 package Knorr Vegetable Recipe Mix
- 8 oz water chestnuts drained and chopped
- 3 green onions chopped
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender add the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Blend until smooth and no chalkiness from the cottage cheese remains approx 5 minutes.
- Remove the blade and add the remaining ingredients directly to the blender, this helps to ensure you get all the cottage cheese mixture out easier. Combine with a rubber spatula and transfer to a large bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Adjust with salt and pepper or additional garlic powder to taste.
- Optional! You can add 1-2 tsp of honey to cut the taste of the Greek yogurt some if it’s too tart for you.
Notes
- If you don't have a blender with a removable blade, I suggest using a food processor. The base is very thick and will be difficult to remove from the blender with the blade still intact.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and will vary with substitutions.
- Serving size is approximately 1/4 cup, 78g
