Ingredients

1 cup frozen strawberries unsweetened
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder approximately 30g
2 tbsp low-fat cream cheese softened for easier blending
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
0.25 cup non-fat Greek yogurt plain or vanilla
1 tsp vanilla extract pure extract preferred
1 tbsp graham cracker crumbs for garnish and authentic flavor
0.5 cup ice cubes optional for thicker consistency

Notes

For a keto-friendly version, omit the graham cracker crumbs and use a stevia-sweetened protein powder. This shake is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight thermos for up to 4 hours. If using fresh strawberries instead of frozen, increase ice to 1 full cup to maintain the frosty texture.
