Chef's Note
For the best flavor, use perfectly ripe peaches that yield slightly to gentle pressure. If peaches aren't in season, you can substitute with frozen peaches that have been thawed and patted dry. The protein powder boosts the protein content significantly while maintaining the dish's creamy texture. For a more indulgent version, try using honey-flavored Greek yogurt in place of some of the cottage cheese.
