This mango cottage cheese smoothie is a thick, creamy tropical high-protein treat that turns simple cottage cheese into something bright, sweet, and refreshing. Lime cuts the richness, mango brings natural sweetness, and banana makes the texture smooth enough for a quick breakfast or filling snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced ripe mango, fresh or frozen
- ½ cup full-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- ½ ripe banana
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- ½ teaspoon lime zest
- ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk, plus more as needed
- ½ cup ice
How To Make It
- Add the coconut milk, cottage cheese, banana, mango, lime juice, and lime zest to a blender.
- Add the ice, then blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
- If the smoothie is too thick, add another splash of coconut milk and blend again.
- Taste and adjust. Add a little more lime juice for brightness or a few extra mango pieces for sweetness.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use frozen mango instead of ice for an even thicker smoothie.
- Blend the cottage cheese with the liquid first if you want an extra silky texture.
- Coconut milk can be swapped for almond milk or regular milk.
- A small pinch of sea salt helps bring out the tropical mango and lime flavor.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of plain or vanilla protein powder and an extra splash of liquid.
This bright mango lime smoothie is a fun way to enjoy more protein without sacrificing a sweet, creamy tropical flavor.
