Ingredients

  • ½ ½ cup low-carb milk
  • ½ ½ cup fresh mint leaves about 30 leaves or 6 grams
  • ½ ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 1 1 scoop casein protein powder, vanilla flavored optional, see notes
  • ½ ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if not using vanilla protein
  • ½ ½ cup Ice cubes about 6-7 cubes
  • liquid sweetener (monk fruit, stevia) optional, to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend 1/2 cup low-carb milk and 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves. Strain the mixture to remove the mint leaf bits and pour it back into the blender.
  2. Add 1/2 cup cottage cheese,1 scoop casein protein powder, vanilla flavored and 1/2 cup ice cubes and blend to desired consistency. Add a few drops of liquid sweetener (monk fruit, stevia) to taste if needed.

Notes

  • Without protein powder: Increase the cottage cheese 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup, add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and sweetener to taste.
  • Heavy whipping cream: To increase fat for high fat keto macros, replace the cottage cheese for HWC.
  • Yogurt: Substitute the cottage cheese for sugar-free vanilla or plain Greek yogurt or Skyr.
  • Ice cream: Replace both the cottage cheese and the ice with the same amount of keto vanilla  ice cream.
  • Peppermint extract: If you'd like a stronger mint taste, add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract - or just increase the amount of fresh mint leaves.
