Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the frozen blueberries and cottage cheese.
Add the ice cubes and fine sea salt.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then add the vanilla extract, increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of additional milk. If too thin, add a few more ice cubes or frozen blueberries and blend again.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
