Why Cottage Cheese Is a Delicious Healthy Addition to Smoothies

Yep! That old-fashioned curds-and-whey cheese, loved by grandmothers (and hated on by everyone in the ’80s as a diet food), cottage cheese is an ingenious smoothie ingredient. If you’re on the fence about cottage cheese but want to give it a chance, smoothies are the perfect gateway. After it’s whirled through the blender, the chunky (potentially off-putting) curds quickly disappear. In fact, cottage cheese adds a wonderful rich creaminess to smoothies, in additional to a wholesome wallop of protein. Cultured cottage cheese looks and tastes just like the classic version, although it’s made with “live and active cultures.” So it also delivers some good-for-your-gut bacteria in addition to all that protein and creamy taste.
