High Protein Cottage Cheese Smoothie

A High Protein Cottage Cheese Smoothie is basically the ultimate protein-packed treat! It’s creamy, smooth, and satisfyingly yum, with a whopping 45g of protein per serving.

You can switch up the flavours (think berries, chocolate, or even coffee) and make it your own! It’s great for high protein breakfast, post-workout recovery, or even a quick meal replacement shake when you’re on the go. The best part? It keeps you full for hours, so no mid-morning snack cravings.

Trust me, once you try this cottage cheese fruit smoothie, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it. Lately, I have become completely hooked on shakes, and this one hits all the macros I need! It’s super easy to make, and you’ll feel like you’re treating yourself to something indulgent, even though it’s totally healthy!
