Ingredients You’ll Need

½ cup cottage cheese (low-fat or whole milk, your choice)
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 frozen banana
2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon flax meal
1 cup almond milk (or any milk you prefer)
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional but recommended for max protein)

Ingredient Highlights

Cottage cheese: The star ingredient. It makes the smoothie extra creamy and adds about 12–14 grams of protein per ½ cup.
Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants and natural sweetness. Using them frozen makes the smoothie thick and refreshing.
Banana: Adds creaminess and natural sweetness. Frozen bananas are best for texture.
Oats: Give the smoothie a bit of heartiness and extra fiber to help keep you full.
Flax meal: Rich in omega-3s, fiber, and lignans (great for hormone balance and gut health).
Protein powder: Boosts the protein content, making this a true meal replacement. Depending on your brand, this can add 15–20 grams more protein.
Cinnamon & vanilla: These simple flavor boosters make it taste warm, cozy, and dessert-like.
Maple syrup: Just a touch enhances sweetness naturally.

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until thick, creamy, and completely smooth.
Taste and adjust: add more maple syrup if you like it sweeter, or a splash more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Pour into a tall glass, sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon or a few oats on top, and enjoy immediately.

Protein Breakdown

Here’s an approximate protein count (will vary depending on brands used):

Cottage cheese (½ cup): 12–14g
Protein powder (1 scoop): 15–20g
Oats (2 tbsp): 3g
Flax meal (1 tbsp): 2g
Almond milk (1 cup): 1g

Total: 33–40 grams of protein per smoothie

Variations & Substitutions

Fruit swaps: Try cherries, strawberries, or peaches instead of blueberries.
No banana: Use ½ avocado for creaminess or frozen mango for sweetness.
Dairy-free option: Replace cottage cheese with dairy-free Greek yogurt or silken tofu.
Nut butter boost: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty flavor.
Extra greens: Blend in a handful of spinach for a nutrient boost—you won’t taste it.

Storage Tips

Refrigerator: Store in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking.
Freezer: Prep smoothie packs by combining fruit, oats, and flax in bags and freezing. Add cottage cheese and milk when blending.
