Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie

This thick and creamy protein-packed chocolate banana smoothie is filled with nutrients to give you long-lasting energy all day long.

You know I drink smoothies all year round, but I get especially excited when the rest of the world joins me every January. And for good reason! Smoothies take just minutes to make, you can throw in whatever fruits or veggies you have on hand and they are ideal for sipping on-the-go.

In keeping with this month's smoothie madness, I'm sharing a brand new Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie recipe filled with over 35 grams of protein per serving! Can you guess my secret ingredient?

Thick and creamy Friendship Dairies 1% Lowfat Cottage Cheese! Who knew, right? Cottage cheese, the #originalsuperfood, is not only a good source of protein but it is extremely versatile. Check out this fun Superfood Generator and play around with your favorite toppings, mix-ins, and other tasty ingredients.

I'd love you all to get creative in the kitchen and show me your most unique cottage cheese smoothies by leaving a photo on my Facebook page or tagging me on Instagram! In the meantime, grab your blender and a tall glass because you won't believe how delicious and satisfying this Chocolate Banana Protein Smoothie tastes.

Your straw is waiting.
