Instructions
- Set Up
Gather and measure every ingredient, then set out a blender, measuring cup, spoon, spatula, small bowl, and 2 chilled glasses. · 2 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and chilled before blending.
- Crush Graham
Crush the graham cracker into fine crumbs and reserve a spoonful for the top so the smoothie keeps a cheesecake crust finish. · 1 min
What to look for: The crumbs look sandy with a few slightly larger bits.
- Load Blender
Add milk, yogurt, cream cheese, strawberries, honey, vanilla extract, ice, and most of the graham crumbs to the blender jar. · 2 min
What to look for: The liquid sits near the blades and the fruit is evenly layered above it.
- Blend Smooth
Blend on high until thick, pink, and creamy, stopping once to scrape any cream cheese from the side back toward the blades. · 2 min
What to look for: The smoothie is pale pink, glossy, and free of white streaks.
- Check Texture
Taste and blend briefly again if the texture looks uneven, folding any pale streaks back into the smoothie with the spatula first. · 1 min
What to look for: The mixture falls from a spoon in a thick ribbon.
- Serve Cold
Pour into 2 chilled glasses, sprinkle with the reserved graham crumbs, and serve at once while cold, creamy, and lightly frothy. · 1 min
What to look for: Each glass has a creamy pink smoothie with a light graham crumb top.
