WW Recipe of the Day: Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie
This skinny strawberry cheesecake smoothie proves that it is possible to enjoy the delicious flavors of dessert for breakfast in an easy healthy way.
Just 4-ingredients come together in minutes to start your day off right.
Skinny Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothies
Using cottage cheese, instead of Greek yogurt in this low fat smoothie provides a great source of protein, but with less tang, which I appreciate, especially in the morning.
Both Rod and I enjoyed the cool, sweet, creaminess of this beverage for breakfast. But it would work just as well for lunch, a snack or dessert.
Change this up to make whatever flavor "cheesecake" smoothie you like best, like I did here with a frozen blend of berries instead of only strawberries.
How Many Calories and WW Points in this Low Calorie Berry Smoothie with Cottage Cheese?
According to my calculations, each serving has 183 calories and:
5 *SmartPoints (Green plan)
5 *SmartPoints (Blue plan)
5 *SmartPoints (Purple plan)
5 *PointsPlus (Old plan)

Because this is a considered a beverage, the points in the strawberries are counted. If you opt to turn this into a "smoothie bowl" and eat it with a spoon, the Points would be decreased to 3.

Another way to lower the points for WW Blue and Purple plans would be to substitute plain non-fat yogurt for the low fat cottage cheese.
