Berry Cottage Cheese Protein Smoothie
Method
Add the base: Place the cottage cheese, berries, soy milk, Greek yogurt, chia seeds, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla, lemon zest and cinnamon in a high-speed blender.
Blend: Add the ice and blend for 45–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash of soy milk.
Taste: Taste and adjust the sweetness with a small amount of additional maple syrup if needed.
Serve: Pour into two glasses and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds. Serve immediately, or pour into a sealed bottle for a protein-rich breakfast on the go.
Vegan option: Replace the cottage cheese with 200 g silken tofu and the Greek yogurt with 80 g thick unsweetened soy yogurt. The remaining ingredients are naturally vegan. This isn't a typical fruit smoothie. Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt create an exceptionally creamy, high-protein base, while berries, lemon and cinnamon keep the flavour fresh and bright. Chia and almond butter add fibre and healthy fats, making it substantial enough to work as a complete breakfast.
