Ingredients
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I like Quest Nutrition Vanilla Milkshake)
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (small curd preferred)
- 1 cup skim milk (or protein-enriched almond milk for lower calories)
Step 1: Gather Ingredients
Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients: ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup frozen strawberries, ½ to ¾ cup ice cubes, 1 cup skim milk (or soy milk or protein-fortified almond milk), and 1 tablespoon granulated sweetener (like erythritol, maple syrup, or sugar-free honey).
Having everything ready will make the process smoother.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Place all the gathered ingredients into the jug of a high-speed blender.
This includes the cottage cheese, protein powder, frozen strawberries, ice cubes, milk, and sweetener.
Make sure everything is well-distributed in the blender jug to ensure an even blend.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth, thick, and creamy.
This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
Make sure there are no chunks of ice or fruit remaining.
Step 4: Adjust Texture and Sweetness
Taste the shake and adjust as needed.
If you prefer a thicker shake, add more ice cubes and blend again.
If you like it thinner, add a bit more milk and blend.
Adjust the sweetness by adding more sweetener if desired.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Pour the shake into a glass and serve immediately.
For an extra touch, optionally top with shredded coconut and additional berries.
Enjoy your nutritious and delicious shake!
