Instructions

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