How to make a high protein smoothie

Thanks to the cottage cheese, there’s already a lot of protein in this smoothie.

You can make it EVEN higher in protein with added protein powder. It blends up nice and smooth. I’ve tested it with and without, and I prefer the consistency with it, but it’s great both ways.

Swapping the coconut milk for regular milk would also add a few more grams. I don’t do this as we’re already using dairy for the cottage cheese and possibly protein powder.

But tell me how the smoothie tastes!

The cool thing about adding protein powder is that you can also change the flavour any way you like. I use strawberry and banana in this breakfast smoothie and it tastes and feels like cheesecake, but you can add chocolate, rocky road, or vanilla protein powder to change things up. Go wild!

My favourite is cookies and cream.

Extra flavour ideas

Peanut butter
Pineapple
Mango
Raspberries
Other berries

You can really add as many fruits as you like to this smoothie.

Make mine a shake!

It’s kind of a cottage cheese shake, as it’s quite thick. I found adding a little water when necessary thins it down if you prefer it that way. However you like it, the taste is guaranteed. Enjoy!
