Print Recipe

A quick and easy smoothie that tastes like cookie dough but is wholesome and packed with protein. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 scoop (about 30g) vanilla protein powder (plant-based recommended)
  • ½ cup (120g) small-curd full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk of choice (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or cashew)
  • 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons rolled oats
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips (dairy-free if preferred)
  • ½ cup ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Add 1 cup (240ml) of your chosen milk into the blender first.
  3. Add ½ cup (120g) of small-curd cottage cheese and 1 scoop (30g) of vanilla protein powder.
  4. Measure in 2 tablespoons of rolled oats and 1 tablespoon of natural peanut butter.
  5. Pour in 1 teaspoon of maple syrup and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  6. Add ½ cup of ice cubes if you want a chilled smoothie (optional).
  7. Blend on high for about 30-45 seconds or until the mixture is completely smooth. Pulse and scrape down sides if needed.
  8. Stop blending and fold in 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips with a spoon or spatula.
  9. Pour into your favorite glass or shaker bottle.
  10. Enjoy immediately. Refrigerate leftovers up to 24 hours and stir before drinking.

Notes

Use small-curd cottage cheese for smooth texture. Add ice for a chilled smoothie but avoid too much to prevent dilution. Fold in chocolate chips last to keep crunch. Substitute Greek yogurt for cottage cheese for a tangier flavor or almond flour for oats for gluten-free. Vegan options include plant-based protein powder and dairy-free yogurt and milk.
