Why Cottage Cheese?
Cottage cheese may not be your typical smoothie ingredient, but it’s a fantastic source of high-quality protein and calcium. Its mild flavor pairs perfectly with the natural tartness of berries and the sweetness of honey. Plus, it adds a rich creaminess without needing heavy cream or yogurt.
Customizing Your Smoothie
- Boost Nutrition: Add a handful of spinach, a scoop of collagen powder, or a tablespoon of flaxseed for added nutrients.
- Switch Up the Fruit: Try swapping mixed berries for mango, pineapple, or banana to change the flavor profile.
- Adjust Sweetness: Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey, or leave out the sweetener entirely if the berries are naturally sweet enough.
This Cottage Cheese and Berry Smoothie is not only quick and easy to make but also provides a balanced mix of protein, healthy carbs, and essential nutrients. Blend one up and enjoy a nutritious start to your day!
