Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

Dairy & Dairy Alternatives

  • 0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Others

  • 0.25 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)

Instructions

  1. Combine main ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh strawberries, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and milk to form the smoothie base.
  2. Add sweeteners and flavorings: Add honey (or agave syrup) and vanilla extract to the blender to enhance the sweetness and flavor.
  3. Add ice (optional): For a thicker smoothie texture, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender as per your preference.
  4. Blend until smooth: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if necessary to ensure even blending.
  5. Incorporate graham cracker crumbs: Add the graham cracker crumbs to the blender and pulse a few times to mix them in without fully blending, preserving some texture.
  6. Taste and adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more honey or syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired.
  7. Serve with garnish: Pour the smoothie into tall glasses and sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs on top as a garnish for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the thickness by varying the amount of milk or ice cubes.
  • To make it vegan, use non-dairy milk and vegan cream cheese alternatives.
  • Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with digestive biscuits or similar cookies.
  • Honey can be replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar for different sweetness profiles.
