Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (3 biscuits) finely crushed digestive biscuits
  • ½ cup (120 g) low-fat smooth cottage cheese
  • 2 cups low-fat plain yoghurt, plus 1 tsp extra
  • 2 cups (250 g) frozen strawberries
  • 3 Huletts EquiSweet sachets

Method

Smoothie

  1. Evenly spread the extra 1 teaspoon of yoghurt onto the rim of each glass.
  2. Roll the rim of the glasses through the crushed biscuits forming a neat coating.
  3. Place the low-fat smooth cottage cheese, low-fat plain yoghurt, frozen strawberries, and EquiSweet in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. In the meantime, carefully cut the green leaves off the tops of the fresh strawberries creating a V-shape, before slicing the strawberries thinly. They should look like hearts after being sliced.
  5. Neatly stick the strawberry slices to the inside of the glasses before dividing the smoothie mixture between the glasses.
