Filling

1 cup Low Fat Cottage Cheese (225g)
¼ cup Vanilla Protein Powder (Whey-casein, 22g)
1 Egg
½ cup Blueberries (74g)

Instructions

Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large 3-cup baking dish thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Arrange graham cracker base: Place about 1½ graham cracker sheets evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish to form the base layer.
Blend filling: In a blender, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, vanilla protein powder, and egg. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the blueberries with a spoon, being careful not to crush them.
Pour mixture into dish: Pour the blended cottage cheese and blueberry mixture over the graham cracker base, spreading it out evenly.

Notes

Feel free to use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, no need to thaw before adding.
You can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits or similar to change the flavor of the base.
For a dairy-free variation, try using plant-based cottage cheese alternatives and vegan protein powder.
Ensure not to overblend the blueberries to keep their shape and texture intact.
Let the bake cool slightly before serving for best texture and easier slicing.
