Description
A thick and creamy cottage cheese smoothie that tastes fresh and mildly sweet, perfect for a quick breakfast, post-workout drink, or filling snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 banana
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese, banana, milk, honey, and vanilla extract in a blender until smooth. Add ice cubes if desired and blend again. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
- Preparation: Peel the banana. Measure the cottage cheese and milk. Add honey and vanilla to a small bowl if you want to mix them first. Chill your glass if you like a cooler drink.
- Mixing: Place cottage cheese, banana, milk, honey (if using), and vanilla in the blender. Secure the lid. Start on low speed, then blend on high for 30–45 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.
- Cooking: No cooking is required. If you prefer a colder texture, add a few ice cubes or use a frozen banana. Blend again until smooth and evenly combined.
- Finishing: Pour the smoothie into a glass. Taste and adjust sweetness with a little more honey if needed. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a few banana slices if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Serve chilled and can be paired with whole-grain toast or fruit for a fuller meal. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
