Description
A protein-packed, creamy smoothie combining the richness of cottage cheese and peanut butter for a satisfying and nutritious breakfast or post-workout treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients
- Measure out all ingredients and have them ready beside your blender. Using cold ingredients will give your smoothie a refreshing temperature, so consider using refrigerated milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt.
- Combine in Blender
- Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract to your blender jar. Start with the liquid ingredients on the bottom to help the blender process everything more smoothly.
- Blend Until Smooth
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Serve Immediately
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away while it’s fresh and cold. You can garnish with a small drizzle of peanut butter on top if desired.
Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or reduce the amount of milk.
- You can substitute the honey with maple syrup, agave nectar, or your preferred sweetener.
- Add a banana or frozen berries for extra flavor and nutrition.
- For additional protein, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- If you have a nut allergy, sunflower seed butter works as a great alternative to peanut butter.
