    does the cottage cheese make it chunky?

    I blend it all together so there are no lumps. The cottage cheese gives it a bit of thickness, but no chunks if it's blended. I put all of my ingredients into a bowl and then I use my little hand blender to mix it all up...easy clean up plus the bowl I use has a pouring lip on it.

    If you like thickness have you tried it with the plain ff greek yogurt I am sure this may have been said by now I just started reading these post!!

    I use fat free plain or low fat vanilla yogurt, raspberries or strawberries, and sometimes add a banana to it. I also like to add 1 tbsp wheat germ or flax seeds.

    I put in whatever frozen fruit I feel like that day and skim milk! I find if your fruit is frozen you don't need ice! I like frozen strawberries and bananas personally the best!

    1/2 cup frozen blueberries
    1/2 of a frozen banana
    1/2 cup of ice
    1 cup of milk (i use almond vanilla milk personally)

    the almond vanilla milk gives it a vanilla flavor & tastes absolutely yummy.

    also i can simply make this in2 a protein shake by adding 3 tablespoons of my vanilla protein powder. yum yum!! :heart:

    I have two favorite breakfast smoothies that I make with Beachbody's Shakology (LOVE.THIS.STUFF!):

    Choco Loco:
    1 packet (or scoop) of Chocolate Shakeology
    1/2 banana
    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup non-fat soy, rice or almond milk (I use Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze)
    Ice to taste

    Just blend it all up...it's like heaven in a glass for breakfast. Seriously!


    Creamy Berry Fusion:
    1 packet (or scoop) of Greenberry Shakeology
    1/4 cup sliced strawberries
    1/4 cup raspberries
    1/2 cup water
    1/4 cup non-fat soy, rice or almond milk (Again, I use the Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze)
    Ice to taste

    Same as above, just blend it all up.


    Both of these recipes make one DELICIOUS serving!
