Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Pour 1/4 cup of almond milk and 1 cup of water into a blender.
- Scoop 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese and add it to the blender. This ingredient helps create a creamy texture while adding protein.
- Add 2 tablespoons of dry cocoa powder.
- Follow with 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of stevia leaf sweetener for a touch of sweetness.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30-60 seconds or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If needed, pulse intermittently to help blend any stubborn ingredients.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a small amount of additional water or almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dash of cinnamon for an extra touch.
- Rinse the blender immediately to make cleaning easier later on.
Tips:
- For a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes or freeze the almond milk beforehand.
- You can enhance the creaminess by adding half a banana or a few slices of avocado.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less stevia according to your taste preferences.
- Blend the smoothie until it's completely smooth to ensure a silky texture.
- For added fiber, throw in a tablespoon of chia seeds or ground flaxseeds.
Enjoy your creamy chocolate protein smoothie as a nutritious and delicious way to stay energized throughout the day. This smoothie is versatile and can be customized to meet your dietary needs and taste preferences. Happy blending!
