If you haven’t discovered and don’t eat cottage cheese yet, you are really missing out. This super food is high in casein protein, which digests relatively slowly. It can be used in so many ways, to make tasty high protein desserts, dips, milk shakes and much more. Now if you ever find yourself in a situation where your local supermarket is out of cottage cheese, don’t worry, you can find out how to make your own right here!

Your primary ingredient is Lacto, or simply sour milk.

It’s really simple to do and the idea is to separate the solid parts from the watery parts of the lacto. A muslin cloth is used as a sieve to do the separating.

Here is a recipe for a mouth-watering, nutritious, high protein smoothie which can be used ideally after an intense workout out, or even as a snack in between meals.

Just a small tip, if you want to make a sweet smoothie and have it thick and milky like a milkshake, opt for low fat plain cottage cheese instead of ice cream. High in protein and low in sugar!

The best smoothies are nutrient-dense, providing vitamins and oils necessary for good nutrition. Fat is required for biological functions and burned by your body for energy; a good smoothie should have some dietary fat. Simply blending a banana with ice and skim milk does not make a good smoothie; there is almost no fat for the body to use in assimilating the vitamins, and there is little nutritive content at all. A healthy smoothie contains egg yolks, coconut oil, cream or other nutrient-dense foods. Smoothies are a great, simple way to get in the extra nutrition you need. [1]
