I had so much fun watching E soak in the day, surrounded by friends, family, and great food. Hearing her say, “This is the best birthday EVER!” made all the time and energy I spent planning the party all worth it. A hundred times over.
She’s such a sweetie. She’s smart, sassy, and has the biggest heart. The way she cares for others inspires me to be a better person. I’m so blessed to be her momma.
Plus, she makes a super cute smoothie model, am I right? As does her brother with his irresistible dark brown eyes and deep dimples.
They loved this smoothie made from sweet bananas, frozen peaches, honey and cottage cheese. YES, cottage cheese! It gets super creamy and is a great way to get the kiddos eating more protein. Goodness knows my picky boy needs it!
They both devoured these smoothies and didn’t even have any idea that they contained cottage cheese. They were enamored by a couple of their favorite fruits paired with sweet, sweet honey. Who wouldn’t love that?
Yogurt is great in smoothies, but don’t you think it’s time you try something new?
Make sure to use frozen bananas for an extra thick smoothie! If you don’t know how, learn the best way to freeze bananas.

Can you freeze? My Mom is on a pureed diet and I am trying to find things I can make ahead for her caregivers to give her during the day. TY
Rachel Gurk says
That should work! It might need a quick blend again when it’s thawed to re-combine everything, but I think it will be fine.
Kristi says

Ok. Where do I get those cute glasses with the straws?
Rachel Gurk says
I think I got those from Zulily, but I found some similar ones on Amazon (affiliate links, no extra cost to you!): These look nearly identical, these come with a super cute carrier, these are also very similar, and these have fun colorful straws but the lids don’t have holes. Hope that helps!
Jeanette says
Please link where you bought glass bottles
Rachel Gurk says
I think those were a lucky Target dollar spot find! These are very similar, though.
Chrissy says
Oh I like this idea! Can people taste the cottage cheese? Do you drink this before you exercise? (I’m a runner)
Rachel Gurk says
I couldn’t taste the cottage cheese at all and Ben didn’t know it was in there! And he kept drinking it even after he found out. ;) Not sure about drinking it before running…I’m definitely not a running expert. I think it would be a great post-workout drink though because of all the protein in it.

I’m going to try cottage cheese in my next smoothie!
denise says
sounds good
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
Never in a billion years would I think of putting cottage cheese in a smoothie! What a great idea with these flavors too. And your kids are so darn cute I can barely take it.
Rachelle @ Beer Girl Cooks says
Your babies are adorable and that party sounds like a blast! I’ve never seen a smoothie made with cottage cheese. If the kids and your husband didn’t know it was there, maybe it is the new yogurt!
Sues says
Such cute kids! Hiding cottage cheese in smoothies is such a good idea for getting in an extra protein boost!
Kelly - Life Made Sweeter says
Aaw they seriously have the most adorable smile:) Happy belated birthday to E! I am a such a big fan of cottage cheese and love that you used it in these smoothies! Such a great idea!
Katalina @ Peas and Peonies says
OMG those kids are adorable, cuties!! :) Cottage cheese in a smoothie is definitely news to me, but I can see how it adds a creamy texture, and I love the health benefits!
Katie @ Mom to Mom Nutrition says
Guess what: I’d rather eat cottage cheese vs. yogurt any day of the week. LOVE this recipe! And E’s sweet smile [N’s too]. Happy belated birthday sweet girl!
Taylor @ Food Faith Fitness says
E is seriously the cutest smoothie model EVER! And Hapyp belated birthday to her!
