A quick and easy low-sugar berry smoothie packed with fresh berries, Greek yogurt, and cottage cheese for a creamy, protein-rich, and refreshing boost perfect for weight loss and healthy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened almond milk or any plant-based milk
  • ½ cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup (60g) small-curd, full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: measure out mixed berries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chia seeds, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener.
  2. Add berries and almond milk to your blender. If using frozen berries, no need to thaw.
  3. Blend for 20-30 seconds until roughly combined but not fully smooth.
  4. Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chia seeds, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and optional sweetener.
  5. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until thick and creamy with tiny bits of seeds visible. Add more almond milk if too thick and blend briefly again.
  6. Check consistency and taste; add more honey or lemon juice if needed and blend for 10 seconds.
  7. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

Use ripe berries for best natural sweetness. Frozen berries can be used without thawing. Cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein without lumps if pulsed first. Chia seeds thicken smoothie if left too long; drink within 15 minutes for best texture. Adjust sweetness with honey or lemon juice to taste. For dairy-free, substitute Greek yogurt and cottage cheese with coconut or almond yogurt or silken tofu.
