- 0:00Let's make my fave GOP one friendly dessert. There's only three ingredients plus a bowl and
- 0:06something to stir it with. So let's get started. First thing is you literally dump in an entire
- 0:11container of whipped friendship cottage cheese. Make sure it's whipped because that's what makes
- 0:16this hack so simple. You don't need to use a food processor. You literally just dump it in.
- 0:20Then choose whatever jello instant pudding mix that suits your fancy. I'm using chocolate here,
- 0:26this is going to make like a chocolate cheesecake. Then you add your stevia just to make it a little
- 0:30sweeter to taste. I just add two. Then once you've got that all in there, you stir it up. Clearly,
- 0:36I should have used a bigger bowl, but it's fine. You can make whatever flavor you want. It doesn't
- 0:41have to be chocolate. You can use vanilla, banana, cheesecake, whichever. I like to change it up
- 0:46sometimes. Then you put about a half a cup into a little ramekin or whatever and that's going to
- 0:53have about 120 calories and about 16 grams of protein. Do a little flip-flip of your favorite
- 1:00whipped topping. I love the real stuff and enjoy. I have ADHD and hyperfixate on this and I love that
- 1:08it gets me my protein in the evening. It's a little sweet treat and you know that you love a sweet
- 1:13treat no matter if you're on a GLP1 journey or not. It's a great way to get my protein in at the end

Protein pudding as a 'GLP-1 friendly' snack: what holds up?
Quick answer
People taking GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide often struggle to meet daily protein targets due to significantly reduced appetite and early satiety, making compact, high-protein foods like cottage cheese practically useful. The creator's stated goal of using this snack to hit protein intake in the evening aligns with clinical dietary guidance emphasizing protein distribution across the day to preserve lean mass during GLP-1-driven weight loss. No therapeutic claims were made in the video, and the recipe itself carries no clinical risk for otherwise healthy adults.

Page-specific review note
What this exact clip is really saying
This FormBlends review is specific to "Protein pudding as a 'GLP-1 friendly' snack: what holds up?" from Katherine Cares. We read the clip as a GLP-1 social video fact-checks claim about GLP-1 social video fact-checks, then separate the useful signal from what a short social video cannot prove. The page-specific claim focus is: People taking GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide often struggle to meet daily protein targets due to significantly reduced appetite and early satiety, making compact, high-protein foods like cottage cheese practically useful.
The reason this review is not generic is the source wording and the canonical claim label "glp1 i hate cooking so i ve made my own hack of the protein puddi." In this clip, the useful excerpt is: "Let's make my fave GOP one friendly dessert." That wording changes the review because it points to GLP-1 social video fact-checks evidence, safety, and patient-fit context, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
The source trail for this page is checked against Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity (2021), Effect of Continued Weekly Subcutaneous Semaglutide vs Placebo on Weight Loss Maintenance (2021), and Effect of Weekly Subcutaneous Semaglutide vs Daily Liraglutide on Body Weight (2022), plus the creator's own wording. GLP-1 social video fact-checks decisions still need an eligibility review, medication-interaction screen, access check, and quality-control review before anyone treats a social clip as medical advice.

What it helps with
- People taking GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide often struggle to meet daily protein targets due to significantly reduced appetite and early satiety, making compact, high-protein foods like cottage cheese practically useful. The creator's stated goal of using this snack to hit protein intake in the evening aligns with clinical dietary guidance emphasizing protein distribution across the day to preserve lean mass during GLP-1-driven weight loss. No therapeutic claims were made in the video, and the recipe itself carries no clinical risk for otherwise healthy adults.
- The 16-gram protein figure requires using a higher-protein cottage cheese brand; standard whipped varieties typically deliver 11 to 13 grams per half-cup, so check the label before trusting the number.
- Adding real whipped cream as demonstrated in the video adds roughly 15 to 25 calories per two-tablespoon serving, making the stated 120-calorie count an underestimate for the finished product shown.
What it may miss
- It may not cover eligibility, contraindications, medication interactions, lab history, or dose escalation.
- Compound access, legal status, and product quality still need a separate safety check.
- Social video captions rarely show the full evidence base behind a claim.
Best next step

- Protein distribution across the day, including evening intake, supports muscle protein synthesis according to Areta et al. (2013, Journal of Physiology), lending some scientific basis to her habit of using this as a nighttime snack.
Our take · Written by FormBlends editorial team · Reviewed by FormBlends Medical Team · This is not a transcript. It is our independent review of the video above.
What did @katasky actually say?
The creator made a simple pitch: whipped cottage cheese plus instant Jell-O pudding mix plus stevia equals a dessert that clocks in at "about 120 calories and about 16 grams of protein" per half-cup serving. She framed it explicitly as "GLP-1 friendly" and useful for hitting protein goals ultimately. She made no medical claims, no weight-loss promises, and no dosing advice. This is a recipe video, full stop.
Worth noting: she said "whipped friendship cottage cheese," which is clearly a speech artifact for "whipped cottage cheese." The actual ingredient is straightforward. She also added two packets of stevia for sweetness, called it optional, and topped the finished product with whipped cream, which she acknowledged adds calories beyond her stated estimate.
Does the science back this up?
The protein estimate is plausible but depends entirely on which brand you use, and she never specified. A half-cup of a typical whipped cottage cheese like Good Culture or Breakstone's delivers roughly 11 to 13 grams of protein on its own. Getting to 16 grams per serving is achievable but tight, and the instant pudding mix contributes essentially zero protein.
On the GLP-1 angle: high-protein, lower-calorie snacks are genuinely consistent with what dietitians recommend for people on semaglutide or tirzepatide. Protein increases satiety partly by stimulating peptide YY and GLP-1 itself (Westerterp-Plantenga et al., 2009, British Journal of Nutrition). Cottage cheese specifically has a high proportion of casein protein, which digests slowly and may extend satiety signals, a reasonable fit for a population already dealing with reduced appetite and the need to preserve lean mass during weight loss (Paddon-Jones et al., 2008, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition).
The stevia addition is nutritionally neutral. Instant pudding mix does contain sodium and some carbohydrates, roughly 25 to 30 grams of carbs per full package, so the per-serving carb load is modest but not zero.
What did they get wrong (or right)?
The 120-calorie claim is where things get fuzzy. A half-cup of whipped cottage cheese is roughly 80 to 100 calories depending on brand and fat content. Add a proportional share of the pudding mix and stevia, and 120 calories is a reasonable ballpark, but she adds whipped cream at the end and never updates the calorie count. If you use real whipped cream, even two tablespoons adds 15 to 25 calories. That is not a huge deal, but it makes the stated number slightly off for the version she actually demonstrated.
The 16-gram protein figure is the bigger question mark. It is achievable, but only with specific higher-protein cottage cheese brands. Generic supermarket whipped cottage cheese often lands closer to 11 to 12 grams per half-cup. She should have named the brand or told viewers to check the label. That omission could frustrate people carefully tracking protein on a GLP-1 regimen.
What she got right: the overall concept is solid. Cottage cheese is a legitimate high-protein base. The recipe requires zero cooking skill. And she was honest that you could just use two ingredients, not overselling the complexity or the results.
What should you actually know?
If you are on a GLP-1 medication and trying to hit protein targets, the general strategy here is sound. Most clinical guidance for people on semaglutide or tirzepatide recommends 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to protect muscle mass during rapid weight loss (Wilding et al., 2021, New England Journal of Medicine; Idz et al., 2023, Obesity Reviews). High-protein snacks that are low in volume matter because GLP-1 medications significantly reduce how much food feels comfortable to eat.
A few practical points worth knowing:
- Check the specific cottage cheese label. Protein content varies by 3 to 5 grams per serving across brands.
- Instant pudding mix contains maltodextrin and sodium. For people managing blood sugar alongside a GLP-1, a sugar-free pudding mix version reduces the carb load meaningfully.
- The whipped topping adds calories she did not account for in her stated estimate.
- This snack does not replace a balanced meal and should not be framed as one, though she never claimed it should.
Nothing in this video constitutes medical advice, and to her credit, she did not try to make it. It is a recipe. Evaluate it like one.

I hate cooking, so I’ve made my own hack of the protein pudding (that we’ve all seen some version of) the most ADHD friendly to exist. Only three ingredients, but honestly, you could just use two. The only cooking instruction is dump it in a bowl and mix it together. 😂 GLP1 friendly with 120 calories and 16g of protein. You can’t beat it! Let me know what flavor combo is your favorite! Mine is either chocolate or banana. I mix in banana and graham crackers into my banana version! Also, t
