This smoothie picked me up and helped me during a time when I was sick and had difficulty swallowing medication. I hope it puts a smile on your face too. The key to making this smoothie is the cottage cheese. I know what you’re thinking, “Cottage cheese? What!” (My mom questioned it too.) Cottage cheese is a thickener to a smoothie recipe. If you don’t like the cottage-cheesy taste, you can add flavor extracts to it, such as vanilla. You can also thicken your smoothie with xanthan gum. You might find that in the gluten-free isle.
