Tips
This recipe can also be prepared without a food processor: In a bowl, mash half of the banana with a fork. Add the cottage cheese, kefir, flax oil, ground flax, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla. Stir vigorously until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and add the toppings. The texture will be less creamy but just as delicious.
