- 1½ cups frozen mixed berries *I used a berry/cherry blend
- 2 tablespoons cottage cheese
- 1 scoop protein powder
- 1 tablespoon hemp seeds
- 2 teaspoons alcohol-free vanilla extract
- ¾ cup water*
- Optional: handful of spinach or kale
- Optional: honey or lucuma powder to taste to sweeten
- For low sodium, use a low sodium cottage cheese brand like Friendship or omit entirely.
- Lucuma is a low glycemic index sweetener that can be found in health food stores or online. It has a butterscotch flavor, similar to banana.
- For electrolytes use coconut water instead of regular water. For creaminess, use whatever milk you like.
- Hemp seeds can be substituted with chia seeds or flax seeds.
- I recommend Sprouted Living pumpkin seed protein, or checking my post on protein powder options.
