- 0.5 cup milk (almond, oat, or regular)
- 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional for sweetness)
- Ice cubes (optional, for thickness)
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, banana, frozen berries, milk, and sweetener (if using) to a blender.

Notes
The flavor of cottage cheese disappears once blended — it just adds creaminess.
For a dairy-free version, use lactose-free or vegan cottage cheese.
Great for meal prep — store in the fridge for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar.
