1 banana, frozen
2 kiwis, frozen
1/2 cup cottage cheese (no salt added)
1 scoop strawberry protein powder (optional)
2T peanut butter (optional)
splash soy or skim milk

Directions:

1. To prepare the frozen fruit, remove the peel or skin and freeze in plastic wrap overnight.

2. Break up the banana into a few chunks and add it to your blender. Then add the cottage cheese, protein and kiwi, followed by a splash of milk (~ 2-3 tablespoons). Turn on the blender. If you have a Vita-mix then congratulations, this will be a piece of cake! Otherwise you will have to stop your blender a few times and use a large spoon to mix the ingredients around. Blend until a thick and creamy puree is achieved. Use milk as needed to aid in the blending but keep in mind that the more milk you use the thinner it will get.

3. Serve in a large glass or mug. Sprinkle cereal, almonds or peanut-butter-filled pretzels on top and eat with a spoon.
