🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup fresh strawberries (or frozen)
✓ 2/3 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
✓ 1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
✓ 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 1/2 cup ice cubes
✓ 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/4 tsp lemon zest
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ Drizzle of honey (optional garnish, 1 tsp)
✓ 2 tbsp crushed graham crackers (optional topping)
✓ 1 fresh strawberry (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep Your Berries: Rinse fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove green tops. If using frozen, no need to thaw—they'll make the smoothie naturally cold and thick.

2. Combine Dairy Base: Pour Greek yogurt and cottage cheese into your blender bowl. Stir them together briefly to break up any clumps in the cottage cheese for smoother blending.

3. Add Berries and Milk: Layer strawberries on top of the yogurt mixture, then pour almond milk around the sides. This layering helps the blender work efficiently.

4. Include Sweetener and Vanilla: Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and a pinch of sea salt. The salt amplifies strawberry flavor without adding sweetness.

5. Blend Until Smooth: Start on low speed for 10 seconds to break down solids, then increase to high speed for 30–40 seconds. The mixture should be creamy and uniform with no visible yogurt lumps.

6. Add Ice and Final Blend: Pour in ice cubes and blend for another 15–20 seconds until fully integrated. The smoothie should be thick, creamy, and pourable—not watery.

7. Pour and Taste: Transfer to a tall glass. Taste and adjust: add more maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness, or a squeeze of fresh lemon for brightness.

8. Garnish and Serve Immediately: Top with a pinch of crushed graham crackers, one fresh strawberry, and optional honey drizzle. Serve right away to prevent separation.
