Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Ensure your blender is clean and set up on a stable surface.
- Pour 1/2 cup of almond milk (120g) into the blender. Adding the liquid first helps blend the other ingredients more smoothly.
- Measure and add 2 scoops of whey protein powder (60g). This will be the main source of protein in the smoothie.
- Measure and add 1/3 cup of low-fat cottage cheese (77g) to the blender. This adds a creamy texture and more protein.
- Measure and add 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries (80g). These will add sweetness and a punch of antioxidants.
- Measure and add 1/2 cup of frozen spinach (80g). This provides additional nutrients and fiber without a strong flavor.
- Put the lid on the blender securely.
- Start blending on a low setting and gradually increase to high speed. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until the smoothie reaches a creamy, uniform consistency.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you achieve your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. If desired, garnish with a few extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Sip and enjoy your nutritious and delicious smoothie!
Tips:
- For a smoother blend, add the almond milk first to help the blending process.
- If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use less almond milk or add a few ice cubes.
- Feel free to substitute the almond milk with your preferred type of milk or a plant-based alternative.
- If you like your smoothies sweeter, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or a sugar-free sweetener.
- For added flavor and health benefits, toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
This Spinach, Cottage Cheese, and Blueberry Protein Smoothie is a versatile and nutritious addition to your diet. It's easy to make and customizable to your taste preferences and nutritional needs.
