- Veggies – Feel free to add in veggies such as spinach or kale for a more healthier option.
- Sweetener – If you need to make it sweeter, add in honey, stevia, or maple syrup. Vanilla extract can be added for added flavor.

Recipe Tips
- Combining Ingredients – Feel free to layer the ingredients in the blender at one time.
- Adding Ice – Ice creates a thicker texture when making a smoothie. It will depend how thick your ice is on how well it blends. You may need to add more ice or more liquid depending on the consistency of the smoothie.
- Blender – Having a good blender is a must to make sure the ingredients are blended evenly. We recommend using a Vitamix Blender for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions
I usually eat it right away while it’s still cold but they usually don’t last long because it’s packed with flavor. Store in the freezer and then thaw to enjoy.
We recommend preparing protein shake when ready to serve. You can prepare protein packets by placing the ingredients except the liquid and placing in a ziplock freeze bag. Then when ready to serve, place in the blender with liquid and blend. You may not need a lot of ice if you freeze smoothie packet.

We love protein shakes i n my family and this one sounds wonderful!
Lisa – I usually use the plain greek yogurt as it has less added sugar. I start with 1/2 cup of it and then you can always add in more if needed.
If using Greek yogurt how much would you use? And would it be plain or a flavored like vanilla or possibly strawberry
This looks awesome! Is the cheesecake powder a pudding mix? Or the dessert that you make in a pie plate?
