Cottage Cheese Smoothie

If you're craving a sweet, filling snack that comes together in under 5 minutes, this high-protein cottage cheese smoothie is the ultimate low-effort snack. Swapping traditional yogurt or milk for cottage cheese drastically improves the protein content while delivering a rich, surprisingly creamy texture that keeps you full.

Cottage cheese

1. For the base of the smoothie, it gives it a fluffier consistency.
2. Yogurt can be used as a substitute.

Fruit

1. Any fresh or frozen fruit can be used.
2. Frozen fruit makes the smoothie colder.

Honey

1. Optional, but adds sweetness to the smoothie.

Add cottage cheese (or yoghurt) and your fruit. You want it about 1/2 filled with cottage cheese and 1/2 filled with fruit. For additional sweetness, add honey.

For weaker blenders, make sure to defrost your fruit a tiny bit. You can defrost in the microwave if under a time crunch, using the defrost setting.

Blend up your ingredients. Blend until fully combined and a uniform color. The mixture should have a fluffy texture that somewhat holds its shape.

Pour the contents of your blender into a glass and serve.
