Method

Peel the banana³ and cut it into large chunks.
Put the cottage¹ cheese, banana³, peanut⁴ butter, and cocoa in a blender, then pour in the milk².
Blend for 40–60 seconds until smooth and thick, with no large cottage¹ cheese lumps.
Pour into a glass and serve chilled right away.

Tips

Why it works: Pour in the milk first, so the blender blades catch the cottage cheese faster and leave no dry lumps along the walls.
Substitutions: If you have no peanut butter, add 10 g of soft butter or just leave it out: the shake will be less thick and less nutty.
Common mistakes: A common mistake is blending for less than 30 seconds: you'll see white cottage cheese grains and separate dark specks of cocoa.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for up to 1 day in a closed jar, and shake or blend for 5–10 seconds before drinking. Best fresh, as the banana darkens.
Serve with: Serve as a quick snack with toast or after a walk, when you want a filling drink with no cooking.

In short

Marked healthy: the planner picks it more often for the goals “lose weight” and “eat well”.
