Creamy Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie
This protein packed smoothie tastes just like a slice of cheesecake but is healthy enough to start your day.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so special about starting your morning with a treat that feels like dessert. This smoothie uses cottage cheese to give it that signature creamy texture while packing in a nice boost of protein to keep you full until lunch.
It is incredibly simple to throw together when you are in a rush. I love adding a handful of frozen strawberries to keep everything cold and thick without needing to water it down with too much ice.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup milk of your choice
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs for topping
👩🍳Instructions

💡 Tips
If you want an extra thick smoothie, use less milk and adjust until you reach your favorite consistency. You can store any leftovers in the fridge for a few hours, but it tastes best when enjoyed fresh right after blending.
