- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 large pitted Medjool date
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract, optional
- Optional add-ins
- 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder

Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender: cottage cheese, milk, banana, strawberries, date, vanilla and almond extracts. Feel free to add any optional add-ins to your smoothie if you’d like. Blend until smooth, adding more milk to thin, if necessary. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with crushed graham crackers or a little whipped cream for more of a cheesecake feel, if desired. Makes 1 smoothie.
