Pro Tips:
- Blend it until it’s smooth. When you blend cottage cheese well, it gets really creamy, so keep blending until there are no lumps.
- ✅Change the sweetness by tasting it after blending and adding more honey if you want it to be sweeter.
- ✅Use frozen lemon juice cubes: If you love lemons, freeze lemon juice in an ice cube tray and use those instead of regular ice cubes.
- ✅Make it thicker by cutting down on the milk. This will make it thicker, like ice cream.
