Thick, creamy protein-packed smoothie that tastes like blueberry cheesecake! Naturally sweetened and made with just 5 simple ingredients for over 17 grams of protein.
Ingredients:
- 1 small banana (frozen recommended)
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
- ½ cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
- ½ tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:
Step 1: Add banana, blueberries, cottage cheese, almond milk, honey, and vanilla (if using) to a high-speed blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth, starting on low and gradually increasing to high speed, approximately 1 minute.
Step 3: Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency as needed. If too thin, add a handful of ice to thicken. If too thick, add a bit more milk to thin it out.
Step 4: Pour into a glass, top with fresh blueberries if desired, and enjoy!
