Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or plant-based)
- 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (about 4 large cubes)
- 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs (optional, for garnish or blending)
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by allowing it to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- Wash, hull, and halve the fresh strawberries. If using frozen, measure and add directly.
- Add softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, strawberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth and silky with no lumps. Adjust thickness by adding more milk or ice cubes as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or syrup if desired.
- Pour into glasses and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs on top. Garnish with a fresh strawberry slice if desired.
Notes
Soften cream cheese to avoid lumps and ensure smooth blending. Add liquids first in the blender, then soft ingredients, followed by ice and frozen fruit for best blending results. Adjust sweetness to taste. For vegan version, substitute dairy ingredients with plant-based alternatives.
