Pistachio Pudding Cottage Cheese Smoothie

An absolutely delicious milkshake-like smoothie to help you increase your protein and fiber consumption! The secret ingredient? Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding mix, which adds some nutty pistachio flavor that pairs really well with the tangy cottage cheese!

This recipe makes one 12 ounce serving, 323 calories & 17g protein. Add protein powder for a more substantial meal.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cottage cheese. I used 2% Good Culture small curd cottage cheese.

1 ½ tablespoons Instant Jell-O Pistachio Pudding Mix

1 cup almond milk, vanilla or unflavored sub with preferred milk

2 tablespoons chia seeds can omit

1 teaspoon honey, or more if needed

Whipped cream for garnish, optional (but highly recommended).
