| Amount | Ingredient |

Cottage Cheese Blackberry Smoothie Instructions
Blend the milk and cottage cheese together first until smooth, then add the blackberries, honey, and lemon zest. Blend on high until fully combined and deep purple throughout, scraping down the sides once if needed.
This is our third take on the cottage cheese swap, and it's the tartest one yet: blackberries have more bite than strawberries or pineapple, so a touch of honey and lemon zest balance the sharpness while the cottage cheese still delivers the same protein boost and creamy body as our other versions.
Blackberry seeds don't fully disappear even in a powerful blender, so if you prefer a completely seedless smoothie, press it through a fine mesh strainer before serving. Otherwise, they add a pleasant bit of texture.
