Description

Your Ingredient List for a Creamy, Dreamy Smoothie. Thick, frosty, and over 30g protein thanks to vanilla protein powder and cottage cheese—tastes like summer peaches & cream!


Ingredients

Units Scale

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

  1. Measure ingredients: Set out all ingredients so blending is smooth and quick.
  2. 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.
  3. Blend to creamy perfection: Start low, ramp to high, and blend 60–90 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more milk if needed.
  4. Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Data insight: Many grab-and-go bars offer ~8g protein with ~12g sugar. This smoothie delivers 30g+ protein in about 5 minutes for a more satisfying breakfast or post-workout recovery.
