  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 12 oz almond milk, or any preferred milk (almond, soy, oat, coconut, or cow’s milk)
  • 8 strawberries, stems removed
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • Whipped cream, optional (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Remove the stems from 8 fresh strawberries. Measure out 12 oz of almond milk (or your preferred milk), ¼ cup of cottage cheese, and 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder to have everything ready for blending.
  2. Blend the Shake: Combine the almond milk, strawberries, cottage cheese, and protein powder in a blender. Blend everything together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no chunks remain.
  3. Serve: Pour the blended shake into a glass. If desired, top with a generous swirl of whipped cream for added indulgence. Insert a straw, and enjoy your nutritious strawberry protein shake immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones to achieve a creamier, colder texture similar to a smoothie.
  • Feel free to substitute the almond milk with any plant-based or dairy-based milk according to your preference, such as soy, oat, coconut, or cow’s milk.
  • If you don’t have cottage cheese on hand, Greek yogurt is an excellent alternative to maintain the protein content and creamy texture.
