A quick and delicious smoothie blending fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and vanilla protein powder for a creamy, nostalgic cheesecake flavor that’s perfect for breakfast or a post-workout treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup (125g) Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk, any kind (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) ice cubes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes or microwave on low power for 15 seconds.
  2. If using fresh strawberries, hull and rinse about 1 cup (150g). Frozen strawberries can be added straight from the freezer.
  3. Place the softened cream cheese, strawberries, vanilla protein powder, Greek yogurt, and milk into the blender.
  4. Add honey or maple syrup if desired, plus lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  5. Add ice cubes if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.
  6. Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until creamy and lump-free, scraping down the sides once or twice.
  7. Check consistency; add more milk if too thick or more ice/frozen strawberries if too thin and blend briefly.
  8. Pour into a glass or jar and serve immediately.

Notes

If using frozen strawberries, reduce or skip ice to avoid over-thickening. For dairy-free or vegan versions, substitute cream cheese and Greek yogurt with almond or cashew-based alternatives and use plant-based protein powder and milk. Blend in bursts if blender is not powerful to avoid overheating. Store smoothie in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours; stir or re-blend before drinking.
