[1] You can't taste the cottage cheese, it just makes the shake thick and creamy. You could also use 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or 1 small frozen banana as a replacement.

[2] I use Designer Whey Protein powder. It has 100 calories per scoop. I buy the vanilla flavor because it’s a good base to add whatever flavors you want to make. It is also all natural. You can buy it from Kroger, GNC, Trader Joe’s, Amazon, or Netrition.com.

[3] You can get xanthan gum from most grocery stores in the gluten free section! Just a pinch of it makes your shake so thick and creamy!
