Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread (Bariatric-Friendly)

Lisa Kidd

One of my favorite things to do is test viral recipes to see if they’re actually worth making—and this Fluffy Cottage Cheese Blueberry Cloud Bread definitely caught my attention!

Since cottage cheese has become such a popular high-protein ingredient, I couldn’t resist giving this recipe a try.

The Changes I Made

I rarely follow a recipe exactly, and this one was no exception.

Instead of powdered sweetener, I used Splenda, which worked perfectly. I also skipped the lemon zest because I didn’t have any on hand. After tasting the finished bread, I think the lemon zest would have added a wonderful fresh flavor, so I’ll definitely include it next time.

Another big change was the pan. Rather than using an 8-inch baking dish, I baked mine in a pan with six individual round wells. Because the portions were smaller, I lowered the oven temperature to 325°F and baked them for about 20 minutes.

They came out light, fluffy, and beautifully golden.

My Thoughts

This recipe has a texture that’s somewhere between a soufflé, cloud bread, and a light sponge cake. It’s not overly sweet, making it perfect for breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even a light dessert.

The blueberries add little bursts of sweetness throughout each bite, and the cottage cheese blends so smoothly that you would never know it’s there.

If I make this again—and I definitely will—I’ll add the lemon zest for a little extra brightness.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • ½ cup full-fat cottage cheese, blended smooth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon Splenda
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries

Optional:

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

A Day in My Bariatric Life: Meals, Grocery Shopping & Behind the Scenes

Lisa Kidd

One of the questions I get asked most often is what my everyday life actually looks like. While I love sharing recipes and cooking videos, there’s so much more that goes into living a healthy bariatric lifestyle.

So today, I thought I’d take you along for a typical day!

From my morning coffee to my meals throughout the day, you’ll see the foods that help me stay on track while still enjoying what I eat. Eating enough protein, staying hydrated, and making balanced choices have become part of my daily routine, and I hope seeing my day gives you ideas for your own journey.

You’ll also come shopping with me as I pick up ingredients for future recipes. I enjoy looking for products that fit my bariatric lifestyle while still keeping meals flavorful and satisfying.

One of my favorite parts of this video is showing you what happens behind the scenes. Creating YouTube videos involves much more than simply turning on a camera. From planning recipes and shopping to filming, editing, and sharing with all of you, every video is truly a labor of love.

Whether you’re considering bariatric surgery, are years into your journey, or are simply looking for healthier meal ideas, I hope this video reminds you that healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about making intentional choices one day at a time.

Thank you for spending the day with me. Your encouragement and support mean the world to me, and I’m so grateful you’re part of the Bariatric Living with Lisa community.

If you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes look, let me know! I’d love to create more lifestyle vlogs, grocery hauls, meal prep videos, and “What I Eat in a Day” content in the future.
