Ingredients:

1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese
110g
1/2 cup strawberries
70g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1/4 cup milk (1% fat)
60g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1 cup water
240g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- If using fresh strawberries, wash and hull them. If using frozen strawberries, no need to thaw.
- Measure out all ingredients for easy assembly.
2. Blending:
- In a high-speed blender, first add the water (240g). This helps to prevent the other ingredients from sticking to the bottom.
- Add the cottage cheese (110g).
- Then add the strawberries (70g).
- Follow with the whey protein powder (30g).
- Pour in the milk (60g).
- Add the vanilla extract (2.10g).
3. Blend:
- Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure there are no lumps of cottage cheese.
4. Adjust Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more water or milk to reach your desired consistency. Blend again if necessary.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into a glass. It can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before serving if stored.
6. Optional:
- For extra flavor or garnish, consider adding a few sliced strawberries on top or a sprinkle of chia seeds.

Tips:

- Fresh or Frozen: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe. Frozen strawberries can help make the smoothie thicker and more chilled.

- Blending: Blend the cottage cheese and liquid ingredients first to achieve a smoother texture before adding the strawberries and protein powder.

- Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or a banana.

- Adjust Consistency: Adjust the water and milk quantities based on your preferred smoothie consistency. For a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of water.

- Extra Nutrients: Add a handful of spinach or chia seeds for an extra nutrient boost without altering the flavor significantly.

- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but note that the texture may change slightly.

Enjoy your Strawberry Cottage Cheese Protein Smoothie as a tasty and nutritious way to boost your protein intake. Packed with the natural sweetness of strawberries and the creamy texture of cottage cheese, this smoothie is both satisfying and beneficial for your fitness goals. Don't hesitate to experiment with additional fruits or supplements to tailor it to your specific dietary needs.
