I took today off from work just for fun; I’m going to Turbo Jam, study, re-format and nutritionally calculate my recipe binder AND finally cook some of the recipes that were sitting in my “Must Try” document FOREVER!

This was my breakfast creation, soooooo delicious! Perfect as a dessert or breakfast. I’ve added it to the recipe section entitled ‘Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie - 3 WW Points’

* Lunch time recipe to follow in a few minutes, Roasted Red Pepper Soup, also a hit!

Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

½ cup skim milk
½ cup non-fat cottage cheese (I used Nordica 0%, 90 cals per ½ cup)
6 packets sweetener
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, frozen (mine were fresh that I cut up and froze a little wile back)

Directions: combine all ingredients in blender, blend until smooth. * Serves 1.

WW Points: 3

    6 packets of sweetener in ONE smoothie? Isnt' that equivalent in sweetness to 12 tsp of sugar?!?!

    Probably why it tasted so good ;)

    You can always reduce it, I put in 6 b/c that’s what my notes said but I'm sure 3 with the vanilla and strawberries is enough. I personally wouldnt use less than 3 since I want to make sure this tastes sweet and NOT like cottage cheese.

    Was that a cup of sliced or whole strawberries, your carbs look way off, unless there are carbs in your sweetener. I just ran it thru the recipe calculator and only came up with 18 carbs.

    Of course recipies will vary based on YOUR ingrediants. One cup of strawberries raw sliced has 13 carbs, most sweetener has carbs (other than Equal I believe) so that was logged as splenda 0 cal packets = 6 carbs. Milk has carbs so does cottage cheese.

    this recipe sounds really good..seems like a normal smoothy except for the cottage cheese..is that what makes it taste cheese-cake-like?

    Thanks sliced v whole makes a big diff too. Splenda 0 cals w/ 6 carbs, hmmmm carbs have 4 cals each, makes you wonder how they can market it as 0 cals.

    I usually avoid anything with cottage cheese. I never liked it. This might be a good way to mask the taste and consistency. Thnx for sharing.

    I bet you can replace the cottage cheese with greek yogurt for just a slight difference in taste. Not sure how it would affect ww points, but greek yogurt is super high in protein!

    Looks very tasty! I'd bet you could sub 1 cup of any frozen fruit, too.
