A great source of protein, this strawberry cheesecake 'shake combines all the flavours of a slice of cheesecake, in a healthy 'shake!
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 3
Course: Breakfast/Brunch
Cuisine: American

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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. In a blender, combine the cottage cheese and milk and blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides when necessary.
  3. 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!)
  4. If you want to thicken the shake more, add the drinking oats or oat flour and blend again to combine.
  5. 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.
