Recipe to fight off hunger

This is from the Real Age site.  Not sure where you can buy some of the items - any ideas? Tangy and Cool Buttermilk and Avocado Smoothie One cup of this fill-you-up smoothie will make only a 145-calorie dent in your diet. Here's how you make it: Ingredients 1 cup organic fat-free cottage cheese, such as Horizon brand 2 cups 1% low-fat buttermilk 1/2 ripe avocado, peeled, seeded, and diced 1 tablespoon organic agave nectar, such as Madhava brand 4 ice cubes or 1/2 cup crushed ice Preparation Place the cottage cheese and 1/2 cup of the buttermilk in a blender. Cover and blend until fairly smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the blender; add the avocado. Cover and blend until fairly smooth, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining buttermilk and the agave nectar; cover and blend 10 seconds. Add the ice; cover and blend until the smoothie is thick and the ice has melted.

the agave nectar is a natural sweetner - you can get it at super target or trader joes - i have seen it both places
