This was breakfast...
Shelly's Cherry Berry Cottage Smoothie
1 cup Vanilla Soy Milk (you can use any milk)
1/2 cup Frozen Pitted Cherries
2-3 Frozen Strawberries
1/4 cup Cottage Cheese (I used storebought Pineapple Cottage Cheese)
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Black Cherry Torani Syrup
Whiz in blender till smooth. Top with Sugar Free Land o Lakes Whipped Cream, optional.
You can add Vanilla or Chocolate Protein Powder to this I often do but I was having it with a Banana Nut Protein Muffin so I didn't add it this time. I had plenty of protein with the milk & cottage cheese and the muffin. This is a great way for people who hate cottage cheese to eat it... you can't tell it's in there. Just thickens everything and makes it yum!

you are SO lucky! I just paid $6.99 lb in Maine!!!
What tool are you using or how are you pitting the cherries?
I bought 2 lbs of cherries for just over $2 the other day. Saved more than $10. I need to pit them and freeze them but blech, that's such a pain! I'll have to try the smoothie ... I can't stand the texture of cottage cheese but I know it is loaded with protein ...
We get really $$$ to sometimes... but 88 cents a pound my freezer is packed!

I am salivating...
over that blender!!!
I just made a version of your banana nut bread protein ice cream in my brand new ice cream maker....I'm so excited!
2/3 cup 2% milk (organic)
2/3 cup whole milk (organic)
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup sf brown sugar cinnamon torani syrup
1 banana mashed
1/4 cup fage yogurt
Didn't add the walnuts to the mixture - sprinkle them on top when in bowl and ready to eat.
YUMMY!
Thanks so much for introducing me to this IceCream...my body is going to be in protein heaven. Plus we're having a heat wave here in SoCal and it is absolutely hitting the spot.
Yum Shelley...this looks so good I may have to try it!
