Description
A creamy, high-protein breakfast smoothie that tastes like strawberry cheesecake. Made with just a few simple ingredients, it provides sustained energy and keeps you full for hours without the sugar crash.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225g) plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup (150g) frozen strawberries
- 1 scoop (30g) vanilla protein powder
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon crushed graham crackers (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Prep ingredients: Ensure frozen strawberries are ready, cut a cube of cream cheese, and measure almond milk and protein powder.
- Add liquid and soft ingredients to the blender first: Pour in almond milk, then add Greek yogurt, cream cheese, and honey (if using).
- Add frozen fruit and powder: Toss in frozen strawberries, vanilla protein powder, and graham cracker crumbs (if using).
- Blend until smooth: Start on low speed, then increase to high. Blend for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth with no chunks.
- Taste and adjust: Check sweetness and consistency. Add more honey if needed or a splash of milk if too thick.
- Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and garnish with a strawberry slice or graham cracker crumbs. Drink fresh.
Notes
Use frozen strawberries for a thick, creamy texture; fresh strawberries will make the smoothie watery. If using a weak blender, chop frozen strawberries into smaller pieces first. This smoothie is best consumed immediately as it may separate if stored.
