Notes

Strawberries: Use frozen strawberries to add a creamier texture to this recipe. 
Milk: Feel free to use whichever plant-based or full-dairy milk you prefer, including almond, soy, oat, coconut, or cow's milk!
Cottage Cheese: Cottage cheese gives this recipe a protein boost, but if you're fresh out, Greek yogurt works well here, too!
