Let's cook
Step by delicious step.
Tap a step number to mark it complete as you cook.
Blend cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, frozen berries, almond milk, flaxseed, hemp seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and tahini until silky.
Stop and scrape as needed; add a splash more almond milk for a pourable consistency while keeping it thick enough to eat with a spoon. Add extra milk a spoonful at a time; a bowl needs a thicker texture than a drinkable smoothie.
Divide between two chilled bowls and top with strawberries, blueberries, coconut chips, cacao nibs, and extra hemp seeds.
Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours (stir before topping if the mixture thickens further).

A little kitchen know-how
- Freeze the bowls for 10 minutes so the smoothie stays cold longer.
- Use frozen cauliflower rice for extra veggies without changing flavor.
- Use the actual product labels and serving amounts if calculating protein; powder scoops and brands vary.
Make it yours & keep it well
Use silken tofu and plant yogurt for a dairy-free base, choosing a plant drink that suits your allergies. Nutrition will differ.
Storage: Keep perishable components covered in the fridge and use within 48 hours, or sooner if a product use-by date requires. Refrigerate the base separately from crunchy toppings and stir before serving. Keep fruit chilled.
For cooling and reheating, follow the Food Standards Agency’s leftover guidance. Rice has a shorter refrigerated storage limit, as described in its recipe notes.

Good things to know
Can I make it dairy-free?
Use silken tofu and a suitable plant yogurt, adding liquid gradually. Check soy, nut and sesame allergens and expect the nutrition to differ.
How do I pack it for work?
Blend the base, pour into jars, and keep toppings separate until serving so they stay crisp.
How do I check the protein content?
Calculate from the actual cottage cheese, yogurt and other product labels and the portions used. A scoop of powder has no universal protein amount.
