Ingredients
  

  • 1 heaping cup frozen peaches for thick, frosty texture
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder use a brand you enjoy
  • 1/4 cup cottage cheese adds creaminess & protein
  • 3/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 2 Tbsp old-fashioned oats for fiber & thickness
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup optional (add to taste; omit if protein is sweet)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract boosts the ‘cream’ flavor
  • A dash ground cinnamon to taste
  • A handful ice for extra thickness

Equipment

  • Blender (high-speed preferred)
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • Tall glass

Method
 

  1. Measure ingredients: Set out all ingredients so blending is smooth and quick.
  2. Layer blender (best order): Add liquids first (milk), then cottage cheese, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon; add protein powder and oats; finish with frozen peaches and ice on top.
  3. Blend to creamy perfection: Start low, ramp to high, and blend 60–90 seconds until completely smooth. Add a splash more milk if needed.
  4. Serve: Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with peach slices or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Many grab-and-go bars offer ~8g protein with ~12g sugar. This smoothie delivers 30g+ protein in about 5 minutes for a more satisfying breakfast or post-workout recovery.
