Equipment
- Blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 210g
- 1 cup raspberries frozen, 150g
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened, 240ml
- ½ banana 45g, use 1 banana for a sweetener smoothie or add powdered sweetener or honey to taste
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Put all ingredients into a blender, adding the milk first, the cottage cheese and vanilla second and the fruit last. I also like to chop the banana to speed up the mixing process.
- Blend until smooth.
Notes
11.3g net carbs per serving. Makes 2 servings of 300ml each.
Optional Adjustments:
- Make it sweeter: Add a whole banana instead of half and/or add honey or maple syrup.
- Reduce the carbs: No banana and use powdered sweetener or sugar-free syrup instead. 1 serving without banana is 7.2g net carbs.
- Make it more filling: Add nut butter to increase the fat content and/or ground flaxseed or chia seeds to increase fiber content.
