Description
Transform your morning routine with this decadent, velvety smoothie that packs a serious protein punch. By utilizing the unique texture of cottage cheese, this drink offers a slow-digesting, satiating breakfast or post-workout fuel without the need for thickeners. The natural tang of the cheese balances perfectly with frozen berries, resulting in a milkshake-like consistency that is high in nutrients, naturally vegetarian, and completely alcohol-free.
Ingredients
1/2 cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat)
1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
1 cup frozen mixed berries
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Add the cottage cheese and milk into your blender first.
Blend on high for 30 seconds until the cottage cheese is completely smooth and no curds remain.
Add the frozen berries, protein powder, and honey to the blender.
Blend again until the mixture is thick, creamy, and uniform in color.
Pour into a chilled glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure you blend the cottage cheese and liquid before adding frozen items to prevent a grainy texture. Use frozen berries specifically to achieve that thick, spoonable smoothie bowl consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired viscosity.
