- 2 tablespoons of a keto-friendly sweetener, such as erythritol or monk fruit
- ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for warmth)
- A pinch of sea salt
- Half a cup of ice cubes
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Measuring cups and spoons for a blender

Preparation Tips
Blend well—cottage cheese needs a good blend to get really smooth. A chunky milkshake is not what anyone wants!
Sweeten to taste. Some sweeteners are stronger than others, so start with less and add more if you need to.
✅ Change the thickness: If you want it thicker, add more ice. If you want it thinner, add a little more almond milk.
✅ Go for extra creaminess by replacing the ice with a few frozen almond milk cubes.
Add a little whipped cream and cocoa powder on top to make it feel even more special.
Instructions
- Put the almond milk and cottage cheese in a blender.
- Add cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
It’s time to bring in the chocolatey goodness! These ingredients give the food a lot of flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. - Mix until there are no lumps left.
Mix on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and velvety. No lumps of cottage cheese are allowed! - Mix again after adding ice cubes.
This step makes the shake thick and cold, just like a real milkshake. Mix until smooth! - Pour into a glass and add whipped cream if you want.
The best part! Put the creamy shake in a tall glass and then add a swirl of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top.
Enjoy right away! But if you have to save it, put it in an airtight cup in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Before drinking, shake or blend again.
Don’t freeze it because it changes the texture too much.
