Instructions
Instructions are for 2 servings. Please modify as needed.
Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the yogurt, sour cream, sweetener, lime juice, and lime zest. Blend until creamy.
Pour the mixture into two serving glasses. Serve immediately. Garnish with additional lime zest, a lime wedge, or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Tip
Using the zest of the lime is a fantastic way to add a lot of flavor and no carbs. The zest (the very thin outer green part) has oils that carry a lot of zip. Be sure to avoid the white part of the peel since it is very bitter.

To smoothen the cottage cheese I added the yoghurt and lime juice to the blender (on its own cottage cheese stuck to the walls). Sour cream is rather firm, therefore measured in grams: 80ml is about 100g. I substituted 100g of the yoghurt with buttermilk. Nice refreshing flavour, great drink. Can be diluted with cold water too.

I subbed cream cheese for sour cream (I didn’t have any). It is delicious. Quite thick so could be served as a pudding too.

Delicious smoothie and a regular for me - until I had a very unpleasant reaction to the erythritol. Beware!

Yum, felt more like a fancy yogurt but I did sub heavy cream and a little more Greek yogurt for sour cream. Definitely doing this again. May have to try the water diluted suggestion.
