Notes
Freeze your cauliflower first: Freezing cauliflower eliminates any veggie taste and helps create that perfect smoothie texture without ice.
Use full-fat cottage cheese: I've found the higher fat content creates a creamier cottage cheese smoothie recipe and keeps you fuller longer.
Prep ahead freezer packs: I portion all the frozen ingredients into baggies for quick morning assembly - this saves at least 5 minutes when I'm rushing out the door.
