How to make a high protein smoothie
Thanks to the cottage cheese, there’s already a lot of protein in this smoothie.
You can make it EVEN higher in protein with added protein powder. It blends up nice and smooth. I’ve tested it with and without, and I prefer the consistency with it, but it’s great both ways.
Swapping the coconut milk for regular milk would also add a few more grams. I don’t do this as we’re already using dairy for the cottage cheese and possibly protein powder.
But tell me how the smoothie tastes!
The cool thing about adding protein powder is that you can also change the flavour any way you like. I use strawberry and banana in this breakfast smoothie and it tastes and feels like cheesecake, but you can add chocolate, rocky road, or vanilla protein powder to change things up. Go wild!
My favourite is cookies and cream.
Extra flavour ideas
Peanut butter
Pineapple
Mango
Raspberries
Other berries
You can really add as many fruits as you like to this smoothie.

Make mine a shake!
It’s kind of a cottage cheese shake, as it’s quite thick. I found adding a little water when necessary thins it down if you prefer it that way. However you like it, the taste is guaranteed. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh (frozen is fine too; you can use any berries you happen to have around)
- 1 cup low fat coconut milk *
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese *
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Optional
- 1 scoop protein powder
Instructions
- One of the joys and reasons for the ever-lasting popularity of smoothies lies in the simplicity of it all.
- Just throw all the ingredients into a blender (peel the banana first ;)) and press the magic button.
- If smoothie is too thick, add some water. If it’s how you like it, serve!

Well yours is more traditional, so I’d go for yours! I don’t do cottage cheese, so I’d leave that out. But I hate cauliflower so I’d have to choose yours! Both are very creative though!
One day I’ll bake a banana cauliflower cake for you 🙂
Haha! A smoothie off! What a clever idea. I have to say that the Caulicolkin smoothie looks very delicious. I have never tried putting cauliflower in my smoothies. This is a must try for me.
Both sound like a breakfast that I’d love to wake up to.
really?? 😀
I’d go just for our version for breakie 😀
