This healthy, high protein smoothie ditches chalky protein powders for cottage cheese! The cottage cheese provides an unbelievably creamy texture that tastes like a milkshake. I use full fat Cottage Cheese. Sweeten the smoothie to taste using honey or strawberry jam. To take these smoothies over the top, dollop them with  whipped cream and crumble a few freeze-dried strawberries over top.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ½ medium banana
  • 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
  • 2 cups frozen strawberries
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

InstructionsHealthy Strawberry Cottage Cheese Smoothie

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend on high until smooth and creamy. Feel free to splash in some more milk if desired (I like it thick!).

Notes

  • When adding ingredients to the blender, it’s best to add the liquid first. The liquid will help the other ingredients to circulate around the blade.
  • If you use a plain cottage cheese, sweeten the smoothie to taste using honey or strawberry jam.
