Ingredients
- 6 oz strawberries (fresh or frozen, stems removed)
- 2 tbsp protein powder (I like Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 tbsp ground flax seed
- 4 oz cottage cheese (low-fat preferred to reduce calories)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp white chia seeds
Step 1: Gather and Prepare Ingredients
Start by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, ½ cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of strawberries (fresh or frozen), 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds, 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed, and 2 tablespoons of your favorite protein powder.
If you’re using plain protein powder and prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to Blender
Begin by adding 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk to a high-powered blender.
Follow this by adding ½ cup of cottage cheese.
Next, add 1 cup of strawberries.
Then, add 1 tablespoon of white chia seeds and 1 tablespoon of ground flax seed.
Finally, add 2 tablespoons of your favorite protein powder.
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
Step 3: Blend the Smoothie
Secure the lid on the blender tightly to avoid spills.
Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
This should take approximately 30 seconds, but you can blend longer if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Once the smoothie has reached a smooth and creamy consistency, pour it into a cup.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious smoothie immediately while it’s fresh!
