Servings: 2 smoothies
Equipment
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Smoothie
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1 scoop peanut butter protein powder
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- 1 cup ice
Strawberry Smoothie
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup low fat cottage cheese
- ¼ cup sugar-free strawberry jam
- 1 tablespoon honey or to taste
- 1½ cups frozen strawberries
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter smoothie ingredients to a blender: milk, cottage cheese, protein powder, oats, peanut butter, honey, and ice. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a glass or container and rinse the blender.
- Add the strawberry smoothie ingredients to the clean blender: milk, cottage cheese, jam, honey, and strawberries. Blend until smooth.
- Hold both smoothies and pour them into your 16-ounce serving glasses at the same time side by side, dividing evenly to fill each cup with half peanut butter and half strawberry.
- Drizzle with peanut butter (slightly warmed for a loose consistency), if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Blender tip: This recipe is easy with bullet-style blender cups. Just blend each side separately then pour together in your drinking glasses. If you’re using a single blender, pour the first smoothie into a cup, rinse quickly, and blend the second, then combine.
Storage: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after making, especially if you want to keep the clean side-by-side split. It does freeze well (just thaw overnight in the fridge) but the colors will blend together when you stir it.
Nutrition: Nutrition was estimated using almond milk, low fat cottage cheese, whey protein powder, and sugar-free strawberry jam. You can reduce the calories, carbohydrates, and sugar by using zero-calorie sweetener instead of honey.
