Avocado Cottage Cheese Smoothie
A silky, protein-forward drink that blends healthy fats from ripe avocado with the creamy protein of cottage cheese for a filling and indulgent smoothie.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 whole ripe avocado Choose one that yields slightly when pressed but isn’t mushy.
- 1 cup cottage cheese Low-fat or full-fat, depending on mouthfeel and calories.
- 1 cup milk or dairy-free alternative Almond, oat, or soy work well.
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional; adjust to taste or omit.
- Ice cubes Ice cubes Optional; for a cooler, thicker smoothie.
Instructions
Preparation
- Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into the blender.
- Add the cottage cheese and milk. If you’re using honey or maple syrup, pour it in now.
- Secure the lid and blend on medium-high until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy, about 30–60 seconds depending on your blender.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness. If you want it colder or frothier, add a few ice cubes and blend again until crushed and even.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
This smoothie is best consumed immediately for taste and color. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Stir or re-blend before drinking. Freezing is not recommended but can be done using popsicle molds.
