Ingredients
  • 1 cup Frozen Strawberries
  • 2 ounces Cream Cheese
  • 2 sheets Graham Crackers
  • ½ cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • ¼ cup Greek Yogurt (plain)
  • 1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ cup Ice Cubes

Preparation of Ingredients

Gather all ingredients. Ensure strawberries are frozen for a thicker consistency. Soften cream cheese slightly for easier blending. Break graham crackers into smaller pieces.

Blending the Smoothie

Combine the frozen strawberries, cream cheese, graham crackers, milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender.

Achieving the Perfect Texture

Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too sweet, add a squeeze of lemon juice to balance the flavors.

Serving the Smoothie

Pour into a glass. Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers and a fresh strawberry for an elegant presentation. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

FAQ

  • Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen?

    Yes, but you'll need to add more ice to thicken the smoothie and make it cold.
  • What can I use instead of graham crackers?

    You can use shortbread cookies or digestive biscuits for a similar flavor and texture.
  • Can I make this smoothie ahead of time?

    It's best to consume it immediately to avoid separation. If you need to make it ahead, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours and shake well before serving.
