1 cup of frozen strawberries (unsweetened)
Splash of lime juice
1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese (or vanilla yogurt~however, I encourage you to try cottage cheese- it balances the sweet/salty flavors and it tastes great, not to mention, it’s high in protein!)
... 1 tbs of sweetener of choice (OR to taste~use less if using diet soda that is already sweetened)
8-10 ice cubes (may use less/more depending on desired consistency)
1/2-3/4 cup lime flavored sparkling water (or diet 7 up) (more or less depending on desired consistency)
1-2 Scoops of Muscle Gauge Nutrition Vanilla Pure Whey Isolate
*Optional: 2 tbs Cool Whip to make creamier, Lime or strawberry to garnish, Pinch of guar or xanthan gum to thicken,
Method:
1.Place the strawberries, lime juice, cottage cheese (or yogurt), and sweetener in blender. Note: If using Cool Whip add it to the blender during this step!
2.Add the ice, followed by the sparkling water (or diet soda). Blend until smooth.
3.Pour into a large glass, garnish with whip cream or a wedge of lime.
