Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (205g) cottage cheese
  • cup (80ml) milk (I use whole)
  • 2 cups (260g) strawberries, chopped (use frozen for a thicker shake)
  • cup (80g) greek yogurt
  • Maple syrup to taste
  • ½ tablespoon drinking oats / oat flour - optional*
  • 3 digestive biscuits finely crushed
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil melted

Instructions
 

  • Make the cheesecake crumbs first: Stir together the crushed digestive biscuits and melted coconut oil. In a dry frying pan over a medium heat, lightly toast the crumbs, stirring frequently until golden brown and crunchy. Set aside to cool.
  • In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and milk and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides when necessary.
  • Add the strawberries and greek yogurt and blend well. Adjust for sweetness with maple syrup (if your strawberries are ripe it shouldn't need much!)
  • If you want to thicken the shake more, add the drinking oats or oat flour and blend again to combine.
  • If using frozen strawberries, serve immediately, with a heaped spoonful of crumbs on top. Otherwise, chill for 10 mins to allow the oats to thicken the texture before serving.

Notes

* I like to use oats to thicken shakes - to make oat flour, simply grind some rolled oats into a fine powder in a coffee grinder or food processor.
