Print Recipe

A creamy, minty, and protein-packed smoothie bowl perfect for a healthy breakfast or post-workout snack. This recipe balances flavor, nutrition, and texture with simple ingredients and quick preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
  • ½ cup small-curd full-fat cottage cheese (120 g)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (30 g)
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves (loosely packed)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup spinach leaves (30 g)
  • A handful of ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice the frozen banana into chunks (about 1 medium banana or 100 g). Rinse the fresh mint and spinach well and loosely pack them.
  2. Add almond milk (1 cup / 240 ml) to the blender first, followed by cottage cheese (½ cup / 120 g), frozen banana chunks, fresh mint leaves (¼ cup), spinach (1 cup), and vanilla protein powder (1 scoop / 30 g).
  3. Drizzle in honey or maple syrup (1 tablespoon / 15 ml) if using.
  4. Add a handful of ice cubes for thickness and chill.
  5. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides with a spatula, then blend again until smooth and creamy.
  6. Adjust texture by adding more almond milk if too thick or more frozen banana/ice cubes if too thin, blending briefly after each addition.
  7. Pour into a serving bowl using a spatula to get all the smoothie out.
  8. Top with chia seeds, sliced almonds, fresh mint leaves, or dark chocolate chips as desired.

Notes

Use frozen banana for creamy texture. Adjust mint to taste to avoid bitterness. Scrape blender sides for smooth texture. Substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt or silken tofu for dairy-free. Add spirulina or matcha powder for classic shamrock green color. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
