Berry Cottage Cheese Smoothie

This creamy, protein-rich smoothie is a simple and delicious way to start the day or refuel after exercise. Cottage cheese provides an easy-to-digest, high-quality protein source, offering around 14 grams of protein per half cup (if you tolerate dairy). For an extra protein boost, you can add your favorite protein powder or pure amino acid powder. Berries bring a powerhouse of antioxidants, anthocyanins, and gut-supportive polyphenols that help reduce inflammation, protect brain function, and support microbiome diversity. Their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with the creaminess of cottage cheese, creating a smoothie that’s both satisfying and deeply nourishing.
