Ingredients

• 2 cups frozen peach slices
• 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
• 1 ripe fresh peach
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 3 tbsp sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup granola
• 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

1. 1Add the frozen peach slices, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, almond milk, protein powder, honey, cinnamon, and salt to a high-speed blender.
2. 2Blend on high 45–60 seconds, stopping once to scrape down the sides, until completely smooth, thick, and creamy like soft-serve.
3. 3If the mixture is too thick to blend, add another splash of almond milk; if too thin, add a few more frozen peach slices.
4. 4Taste and adjust sweetness with an extra drizzle of honey if needed.
5. 5Divide the smoothie base between two shallow bowls, using the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern on top.
6. 6Pit and thinly slice the fresh peach.
7. 7Arrange the fresh peach slices, blueberries, granola, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of chia seeds in neat rows or clusters over each bowl.
8. 8Serve immediately with a spoon while the base is still frosty and thick.
9. 9For extra staying power on school mornings, stir an additional spoonful of cottage cheese into the base before topping.
