Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder.
- Pour 1.5 cups (360g) of almond milk.
- Weigh out 2 oz (60g) of low-fat cottage cheese.
- Rinse and measure 1/2 cup (77g) of fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Measure 1 tablespoon (5g) of dry cocoa powder.
- In your blender, add the 1.5 cups of almond milk first. This will help with the blending process.
- Add the scoop of whey protein powder.
- Add 2 oz of low-fat cottage cheese next.
- Toss in the 1/2 cup of blueberries.
- Finally, add 1 tablespoon of dry cocoa powder.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed for about 30-45 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and there are no visible chunks of cottage cheese or blueberries.
- If the shake is too thick, you can add a splash more of almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the shake into a tall glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of dry cocoa powder on top.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.
Tips:
- Add Ice for Thickness: For a thicker shake, consider adding a handful of ice cubes before blending. This will give your shake a frosty and more substantial texture.
- Use Frozen Blueberries: Using frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones can make your shake colder and thicker, adding to the refreshing experience.
- Sweeten to Taste: If you find the shake not sweet enough, you can add a natural sweetener like honey, agave syrup, or a few drops of stevia.
- Blend Well: Ensure you blend all the ingredients thoroughly to avoid any lumps and to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your shake by adding in other healthy ingredients like chia seeds, spinach, or flax seeds for an extra nutrient boost.
There you have it—a tasty and protein-packed chocolate blueberry shake that's perfect for any time of the day. Not only is this shake easy to prepare, but it's also a great way to incorporate more nutrients into your diet. Enjoy your delicious and energizing treat!
