Cottage Cheese Smoothie (High Protein)
This Cottage Cheese Smoothie combines creamy cottage cheese with frozen raspberries, almond milk, banana, and vanilla extract for a protein-rich drink. The fruit adds natural sweetness and tartness, while the cottage cheese provides a thick texture and substantial protein content. The smoothie can be adjusted for sweetness or carb content by varying the amount of banana or using sweeteners.

Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day to maintain freshness.
- Adjust sweetness by using a whole banana or adding honey, maple syrup, or powdered sweetener as preferred.
- To reduce carbohydrates, omit banana and use sugar-free sweeteners instead.
- Add nut butter, ground flaxseed, or chia seeds to increase fat and fiber content for a more filling smoothie.
