The Fruity Base
- 1 heaping cup frozen peaches (for thick, frosty texture)
The Protein Powerhouses
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (use a brand you enjoy)
- 1/4 cup cottage cheese (adds creaminess & protein)
Flavor & Texture Enhancers
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 Tbsp old-fashioned oats (for fiber & thickness)
- 2 tsp pure maple syrup (optional) (add to taste; omit if protein is sweet)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (boosts the 'cream' flavor)
- ground cinnamon (a dash, to taste)
- ice (a handful, for extra thickness)
Instructions
- Measure ingredients: Set out all ingredients so blending is smooth and quick.
- Layer blender (best order): Add liquids first (milk), then cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon; add protein powder and oats; finish with frozen peaches and ice on top.
- Blend to creamy perfection: Start low, ramp to high, and blend 60–90 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more milk if needed.
- Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.
