½ cup cottage cheese
2 cups frozen blueberries or other frozen fruit such as blackberries, cherries or mango*
1.5 cups plant milk more to preference
1 teaspoon chia seeds
1 teaspoon maple syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional
ice to preference

Pour the milk into your high speed blender, then spoon in the cottage cheese, frozen fruit, maple syrup, chia seeds and vanilla extract (if using).
Blend to a thick smoothie, adjusting with more milk or ice to taste and texture preference. Pour into your serving glass.

*Note that cherries and mango are more debated in terms of histamine per the SIGHI list.

Adjust with more milk to preference. This is a fairly thick smoothie, but you can thin using more milk.
Use frozen fruits for a thicker smoothie. If using fresh fruit, you may need to add some ice to thicken.
Be sure to use low histamine fruits if you have that dietary requirement.
