I am kind of a Smoothie kick! With all the fresh fruit that is in season right now I think my favorite fruit are strawberries! I do have a little problem, I would much rather eat my food than drink it so if I am going to have a decadent milkshake (aka smoothie) then it better be low cal, low sugar, taste good and provide nutritional value! I know I am kind of weird so if I am drinking a smoothie it is a protein smoothie. This Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie fits all the requirements.
I have been creating protein smoothie recipes for a long time I am so glad that protein powders have come so far. They can be disguised in the form of a delicious smoothie so easily. I have learned to use sugar free coffee syrups and sugar free pudding mix in smoothies to give them amazing flavor. I love using powdered pudding mix to give smoothies flavor and it thickens them so nicely. I also just took the plunge and started using almond milk. I love it. It is just one more way to keep calories and sugar low in my smoothie creations.
Between a lot of ice cubes and frozen strawberries this smoothie is so thick you will need a spoon. So if your looking for a delicious smoothie you might want to give this one a try. You can use any protein powder you prefer I would just use a vanilla flavored one.
