Key Ingredients in Your Blueberry Cheesecake Protein Smoothie
→ Frozen Blueberries : Blueberries aren’t just delicious; they’re packed with antioxidants and vitamins! Using frozen blueberries in this smoothie gives it that perfect creamy texture, plus they add a natural sweetness without all the extra sugar. Bonus: they help keep your smoothie nice and cold!
→ Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk : Almond milk is a great dairy-free base that adds a smooth, creamy feel without overpowering the flavor. The unsweetened version keeps the smoothie light, so the other ingredients really shine. Plus, it's low in calorieswin-win!
→ Greek Yogurt : Greek yogurt brings all the protein to the party! It makes your smoothie thick and creamy while giving it a slight tang, which balances out the sweetness of the fruit. It’s also a great source of probiotics, which are awesome for gut health!
→ Vanilla Protein Powder : This is the secret ingredient that packs a protein punch and keeps you full longer. It also adds a smooth texture and a yummy vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with the blueberries and cream cheese. Choose your favorite protein powder for a boost of energy!
→ Cream Cheese : For that cheesecake-like vibe, cream cheese is a must! It adds richness and creaminess that makes this smoothie feel indulgent. Don’t worry, it’s just a small amount, so it won’t overpower the smoothie, but it gives it that deliciously creamy texture you’re craving.
