Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for a slight tang)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsps honey or maple syrup
- 2–3 pieces graham crackers, crushed
- 1 cup milk (whole, skim, almond, etc.)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a high-powered blender, ensuring all ingredients are at a consistent temperature.
- Incorporate fresh berries and optional lemon juice into the mixture for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Add ice cubes to create a chilled, thick texture that mimics traditional cheesecake consistency.
- Pulse blender briefly to integrate crushed graham crackers, maintaining slight texture for crunch.
- Transfer smoothie to a chilled glass, allowing the vibrant mixture to showcase its creamy appearance.
- Garnish with additional berry fragments or graham cracker crumbs for visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Serve immediately to preserve optimal temperature and fresh smoothie experience.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature beforehand to ensure a silky, lump-free smoothie texture.
- Swap honey with sugar-free alternatives like stevia for a low-calorie version suitable for diabetic diets.
- Use frozen berries instead of fresh to create a thicker, more chilled smoothie without diluting flavor.
- Select full-fat Greek yogurt for richer taste and extra protein, or choose low-fat options for lighter nutrition.
