Print Recipe

A quick and satisfying protein-packed smoothie using cottage cheese, frozen berries, and almond milk, perfect for breakfast or post-workout energy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (150g) frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 ripe banana, peeled
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese, 1 cup frozen mixed berries, 1 ripe banana, 1 cup almond milk, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional), 1 teaspoon honey (optional), ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3-4 ice cubes.
  2. Add cottage cheese and almond milk to the blender first. Blend on medium speed for about 15 seconds until combined and creamy.
  3. Add frozen berries and banana. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds until smooth and thick.
  4. Add chia seeds, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend again for 10-15 seconds to mix evenly. For a thicker smoothie, add more cottage cheese or reduce almond milk slightly.
  5. Add ice cubes and pulse blend 3-4 times to crush ice without watering down the smoothie.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness with extra honey or maple syrup if needed. If too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend briefly.
  7. Pour into a glass or travel cup. Optionally, top with fresh berries or a sprinkle of chia seeds.

Notes

Start blending with liquid base to protect blender motor and ensure smooth texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Frozen fruit chills smoothie without diluting it. Blend in stages for best texture. Taste and adjust sweetness before serving. For vegan/dairy-free, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu or thick plant-based yogurt.
