Raspberry Cottage Cheese Smoothie
A creamy and protein-packed smoothie combining cottage cheese, bright raspberries, and a hint of vanilla, perfect for breakfast or a quick snack.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese Use full-fat for creamier texture or low-fat if preferred.
- 1 cup raspberries Fresh or frozen.
- 1/2 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk Adjust for thinner or thicker consistency.
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup Optional; omit for less sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Ice cubes Optional, for a thicker, colder smoothie.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the cottage cheese, raspberries, milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract to your blender.
- Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed.
- If you want a thicker, frosty texture, add a few ice cubes and blend again until incorporated.
- Taste, and adjust sweetness or milk to reach your preferred balance.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For a different flavor, Greek yogurt can replace cottage cheese. Use frozen raspberries to eliminate the need for ice. For dairy sensitivities, try lactose-free cottage cheese and oat milk. For higher calories, add a tablespoon of nut butter.
