Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Apple chopped
  • 1 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1/3-1/2 Milk of choice
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon optional
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • Sweetener optional
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add chopped apple, cottage cheese, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract and sweetener (if using) to a blender.
  • Blend on high speed for about 30–60 seconds, or until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed.
  • Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Sweetener:
    • This smoothie is naturally sweet from the apple, and I personally enjoy it unsweetened. But if you like it sweeter, feel free to add: 1–2 teaspoons sweetener of your choice (or more), depending on your taste and the sweetness of your berries.
    • You can use: maple syrup, honey, agave syrup, dates, banana, stevia or any other sweetener.
  •  
  • Milk Options: Any milk works: cow’s milk, almond, soy, oat, coconut, or cashew milk. For a lighter version, you can also use water, though it will slightly reduce creaminess.
  • Cottage Cheese: Use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese, depending on your dietary preferences.
  • Alternatives: Greek yogurt, plain yogurt, quark, or even silken tofu for a dairy-free, protein-rich option.
  • Mix-ins: Add chia seeds, flaxseeds, spinach, oats, or protein powder for extra nutrition.
