  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Notes

  • You may add a tablespoon of chia or flaxseeds to amp up some fiber.
  • If your fruits are frozen, reduce the number of ice cubes. If it’s still too thick, you may add up some water or a little bit more milk.
  • For the vegan/vegetarian version, replace protein powder with a vegan one.
