Description
This Strawberry Banana Cottage Cheese Smoothie is not only delicious but also packed with protein! It offers a rich, creamy texture, similar to a milkshake, making it an ideal choice for a filling breakfast or a nourishing post-workout snack.
Ingredients
2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
1.5 cups cottage cheese
1 large banana, frozen (or 2 small)
2 cups frozen strawberries
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Optional: ice cubes, until cold (if not using frozen fruit)
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with the milk.
-
If you’re not using frozen fruit, adjust the amount of milk to 1 to 1.5 cups to avoid a runny texture.
-
Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust flavors or liquid to your preference.
-
Pour into glasses and enjoy!
Notes
- Fruit Swap: Swap the strawberries for other berries like raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a different flavor profile.
- Milk Choice: Replace almond milk with any milk, such as cow’s milk or soy milk for extra protein.
- Sweetness: Add a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or dates for a sweeter taste.
