Ingredients
Scale
Dairy Ingredients:
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
Liquid and Sweeteners:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Texture and Garnish:
- 1/2 cup ice
- Optional: graham cracker crumbs
- Optional: fresh fruit
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender, ensuring cream cheese is at room temperature for smoother blending.
- Pulse ingredients initially to break down ice, then blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until mixture reaches a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer smoothie into a chilled tall glass, creating a swirling motion for aesthetic presentation.
- Sprinkle crushed graham cracker crumbs across the surface, allowing them to partially sink into the creamy mixture.
- Garnish with sliced strawberries or diced peaches for a fresh, vibrant touch.
- Serve immediately while smoothie is cold and texture is optimal, enjoying the rich, dessert-like beverage.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand for an extra thick, frosty texture that mimics classic cheesecake consistency.
- Swap full-fat dairy for Greek yogurt and low-fat cream cheese to create a lighter, protein-packed version without sacrificing flavor.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting honey levels or using alternative natural sweeteners like maple syrup or stevia for different dietary needs.
- Experiment with fruit toppings like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to add vibrant color and fresh flavor complexity to the smoothie.
