Epic Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

This Epic, Healthy, Delicious, High Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie is made with the freshest strawberries! Satisfying protein with a yummy cheesecake flavor!

Fresh Strawberries Picked Locally

It’s strawberry season, and fields of heavenly strawberries abound. If you have a local farmers market, it’s a great time to check out the fresh fruit. Northern California has many farms; you can spend the afternoon picking fresh fruit. It’s a beautiful activity with the family.

Why Cottage Cheese in a Smoothie?

First of all, I think of cottage cheese as a high-protein superfood. It’s creamy and tangy, and blends beautifully in smoothies and even ice cream. I love the luxurious mouth feel of blended cottage cheese, and it adds creaminess to every sip. Also, if you have been on Tik Tok lately, cottage cheese is a having a ‘moment.’ The protein in cottage cheese sustains you from breakfast to lunch. I often have it with blueberries for breakfast.

I was conversing with my mother-in-law about the importance of breakfast. She usually skips it or makes less-than-healthy choices. She has a sweet tooth, as many do, and I suggested smoothies with a sweet taste but no added sweetener. This Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie is a great breakfast choice that satisfies that sugar craving. What makes it epic is the unique flavor blend and fun element of taking an everyday ingredient like cottage cheese and transforming it into a creamy, healthy, and delectable breakfast!
