Ingredients
Strawberry Flavor
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
- 3 cups frozen strawberries
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Banana Flavor
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 3 cups frozen banana slices
- 3 Tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese to the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
- For the strawberry flavor: Add the frozen strawberries, honey and lemon juice to the food processor and blend until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. For the banana flavor: Add the frozen bananas, honey and vanilla extract to the food processor and blend until creamy, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let it sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before scooping.
Notes
- I prefer to use a food processor for this recipe, but a high-powered blender (like a Ninja or Vitamix) works, too. If you’re using a blender, plan to stop and scrape down the sides a few times so everything blends evenly, and you don’t end up with hidden chunks.
- For a soft-serve consistency, enjoy immediately after blending. For a firmer, scoopable texture, freeze for at least 2 hours.
- Frozen fruit is key for achieving the thick, creamy texture. Fresh fruit will result in a thinner, smoothie-like consistency.
- Honey or maple syrup can be used interchangeably in this recipe.
- Add a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for an extra protein boost. You may need a splash of milk to maintain a smooth texture.
