Cottage Cheese Smoothie (High Protein)
This cottage cheese smoothie recipe is a great way of adding extra protein and calcium to a regular smoothie (without protein powder!). The cottage cheese blends to a smooth texture, and adds a natural creaminess.
Equipment
- blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 small banana
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit as necessary.
- Add the milk, cottage cheese and fruit to a blender. Blitz until smooth.
Notes
- Fruit can be varied to suit your taste. You'll need a cupful of chopped fruit in total. Banana is optional, so omit it if you prefer and replace with other fruit.
- Leftover fruit can be frozen, and used to make smoothies at a later date.
- For a very thick smoothie or smoothie bowl, reduce the milk to a couple of tablespoons. Or add two tablespoons of chia seed per serving.
- For extra protein, add a tablespoon of peanut butter.
