Chocolate Cheesecake Smoothie
12 years ago
General
So I have to start eating cottage cheese to reintroduce protein and repair my broken biological system.
The problem is that cottage cheese is kind of gross on its own. So I started playing with it and ended up with a 300 calorie milkshake/smoothie that tastes like cheesecake, is super filling, and fills up a really tall glass.
Throw this in your blender in this order:
4 tablespoons sugarless nesquick (1 serving size is 2 tablespoons).
1 cup ice (or like 6 ice cubes).
1 cup cottage cheese (I use fat free cottage cheese) (package serving size is 1/2 cup).
1 cup vanilla light soy milk.
Blend until smooth. I wanted to get rid of that gross, chunky cottage cheese texture, so I smoothed the fuck out of it.
I like it kinda of sweet-salty, but if you need it a bit sweeter, throw in some Stevia along with the Nesquik to sweeten it up without adding calories. Delicious!

(You know, setting aside the fact it sounds like it's actually not that loaded with calories and such at all, still...I read that and was like, "Jeez...that'll turn you into a cheesecake cow!" ;)
Seriously, do you work for a sugar company or something?
Furthermore if you read just a little bit further down on the Wikipedia page you'd see that the FDA bans Stevia, but allows in Stevia derivatives such as Truvia and PureVia which aren't Stevia but a highly purified and modified version of Stevia.

But I think this conversation is not going anywhere useful. For no reason I can fathom, you seem determined to demonize Stevia, and I'm going to keep using it, because other cultures have used it for centuries with no apparent ill effects.
Fun fact: Most of what is in those little rip-open packages of sweeteners are actually just packing material, if that was all the actual material it'd make just about anything way to sweet. Stevia for example is 300 times sweeter than sugar, so you only need 1/300th for the same amount of sweetness.
