Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (full‑fat for best texture; drain excess liquid if watery)
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (pure vanilla extract preferred)
- 0.5 cup Frozen Strawberries (any frozen fruit works; no need to thaw)
- 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter (optional swirl; use smooth peanut butter)
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate Chips (optional swirl; semi‑sweet works best)

Blend Base
Add cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend on high until the mixture is silky smooth and no lumps remain.

Incorporate Fruit
Add the frozen strawberries to the blender and pulse until fully incorporated but still slightly textured, or blend longer for a uniform color.
Time: PT1M
Transfer and Add Swirl (Optional)
Pour the mixture into a freezer‑safe container. Drop spoonfuls of peanut butter or chocolate chips on top and use a spatula to swirl them through.
