Cottage Cheese Pumpkin Mousse
Jump to Recipe
For all the pumpkin pie lovers out there, this recipe delivers everything you crave—without the heaviness. It’s low-fat, high-protein, packed with nutrition, and surprisingly rich in flavor. Best of all, it comes together quickly and is dangerously easy to polish off… but even if you do, no guilt required at just 81 calories per serving.
The secret bonus? A handful of microgreens blended right in for an extra boost of nutrients. Because they’re fully blended, you get all the benefits of greens without seeing or tasting them—making this an easy, delicious way to “hide” vegetables for picky eaters (or anyone who just wants more nutrition without trying).
Enjoy it as a simple dessert, an afternoon snack, or turn it into a satisfying breakfast by adding a handful of granola to the bottom of the bowl. And if you’re feeling indulgent, a small swirl of whipped cream on top transforms it into pumpkin pie in a bowl—comforting, cozy, and completely spoon-worthy.
Nutritionist note: Microgreens are blended into this recipe to quietly boost vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants—an easy way to increase daily vegetable intake without changing taste or texture.
