Notes
*I used 4% fat cottage cheese, but any fat % will do!
**You won't use all the whipped cream to top these smoothies, so I recommend freezing the rest in dollops on parchment to use later…or hey, grab a spoon! I won’t tell! I didn’t cut the recipe in half further because it was too little liquid for the hand mixer to manage turning into whipped cream.
