The Secret Ingredient: Cottage Cheese

If you haven’t tried cottage cheese in a smoothie, it’s the secret ingredient that makes all the difference. Blending cottage cheese into a smoothie gives it a creamy, thick texture, almost like yogurt – but with more protein. And no, you don’t taste it. It just adds a smooth consistency blends easily with sweet, juicy peaches.

This smoothie also feels a bit nostalgic, like a reminder of those juicy, warm-weather flavors as we transition into cooler days. But don’t worry – it’s perfect all year long and can be adapted with other fruits, too.
