10 oz pure water
8 frozen strawberries
4 tbs. low fat sour cream
10-15 drops liquid stevia (optional)

2 tbs. low fat sour cream
1 tsp. coconut extract

1.5 oz. protein of choice (vanilla flavor)
16 oz. skim milk
2 cups no-fat cottage cheese
3 scoops Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein Powder (vanilla)
1/2 cup non-fat, reduced-sugar vanilla yogurt scoop of your favorite fruit (I like frozen strawberries & banana)
Splenda or Sweet-n-Low to taste (about 2 packets)
Handful of Ice
Directions:
Blend together and chill. Makes 3 two-cup servings.
Guzzle for an awesome post-workout shake. The high-glycemic-value carbs spike insulin to deliver protein to your muscles. Add dry oats for more complex carbs, and add more cottage cheese to boost the protein! Add more milk if the mix is too thick.
