Baby must really like cottage cheese because I’ve been eating cottage cheese any way I can get it– muffins first and now smoothies! Or maybe he just likes cheesecake? You know, that’s probably it because his dad definitely has a sweet tooth. I keep dreaming of cheesecake flavored things lately.

My ultimate cheesecake is the Banana Cream Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. OMG. I love all the whipped topping and the bananas they add to the side. It at least makes me feel a little healthy 😉

Here lately I’ve been adding cottage cheese to my smoothies. It’s so good and high protein without protein powder!! Yippee! I’ve tested strawberry, chocolate and now this Whipped Banana Cream Cheesecake Smoothie and they have all been ahhhhmazing!!

One interesting quality that I’ve found with these cheesecake smoothies is they keep well overnight or for a few hours at least. Most smoothies will separate and lose the thick texture, but the cheesecake seems to hold the smoothie together making this a good one to cap a mason jar lid on it and store it in the fridge for later– read: meal prep must!

I hope you guys enjoy this Whipped Banana Cream Smoothie as much as I do. A great way to cure that sweet tooth without any added sugar! (That is unless you dump a bunch of whipped topping on it, like me, but hey– it’s optional!)

    I don’t like cottage cheese.
    Can I substitute it for protein powder ? Or can you not even taste the cottage cheese ?

    Thank you

      you can’t taste it! the banana makes it sweet and cottage cheese helps it to taste more like a cheesecake.

    Delicious! I added 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder for more protein, only used 1/2 banana- very creamy! Thanks for the recipe!

    It might be no sugar added but it has A LOT of sugar at 25 grams. I’m guessing that’s with the whipped cream??

      You’ll love it! I didn’t like it at first for some reason, but I think I used the wrong combo of fruit with it.

    Baby <3's cottage cheese! Love it! My boys wanted peanut butter 24/7. I was eating it off the spoon at bedtime…. I should have made shakes instead!

    I know I should eat more cottage cheese for the protein and this looks like the most tasty way to do it!

    So I don’t even like cottage cheese right? But I figured hey why not? I didn’t have that much cottage cheese only 2 tablespoons left (it wasn’t mine). And I added 2 banana’s instead of just 1 and used vanilla soymilk. Left out the extract. But it was awesome!! It’s a weird combo, but amazing! I would have never guessed. Next time I’ll add crushed pineapple for pineapple cream cheese. Thanks for the recommended!

    […] I’ve been trying to eat more protein lately in an effort to shed the rest of the baby weight, and it feels like that’s the only time I ever eat cottage cheese, since I’m not a huge fan. But!
