1 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Ice optional
Instructions
Combine Ingredients
- In a high-powered blender, add the frozen banana, cocoa powder, peanut butter, cottage cheese, milk, and honey. If a thicker consistency is desired, include a handful of ice.
Blend Until Smooth
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until the texture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie appears too thick, gradually add a small amount of additional milk to achieve the desired consistency.
Adjust as Needed
- If a thicker consistency is preferred, add extra ice and blend again. If a thinner texture is desired, incorporate additional milk in small increments.
Serve Immediately
- Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately. For an enhanced presentation, drizzle with peanut butter or sprinkle cocoa powder on top.
