Benefits Of This Cottage Cheese Smoothie Bowl
This easy cottage cheese smoothie served in a bowl has so many benefits.
One of the main benefits of this recipe is how easy it is to make. It requires no fancy ingredients!
Some nutritional benefits of this smoothie bowl include:
- Contains Protein: The cottage cheese provides a good source of protein. A serving of this smoothie bowl has 17.5g of protein!

- Digestive Health: The fiber content from the banana and pineapple aids in digestion and can help maintain a healthy gut.

Tasty Smoothie Bowl Variations
The original recipe is simple and doesn’t contain any fancy ingredients.
However, if you want to elevate it, and boost the nutrition even more, you can try some of my other tested variations.
I think you will love them!
- Chocolate Smoothie Bowl: Love chocolate? To make a healthy chocolate cottage cheese smoothie, add a tablespoon or two of cocoa or cacao powder! Alternatively, add a scoop of chocolate protein powder for extra protein!
- Green Boost: Add some hidden greens by incorporating a generous handful of kale or spinach.
- Berry-Delicious: Boost the fiber content, and Vitamin C, and add antioxidants, by swapping the pineapple for mixed berries.
- Banana-Free: Don’t like bananas? No problem. Swap the bananas for mango or berries!
- Add Healthy Fats: Incorporating a tablespoon of flaxseeds, chia seeds, or nut butter, such as almond butter can make the smoothie creamier, more filling, and heart-healthy!
