How to Make a Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Soak the cashews until soft, then drain. You can do this by either soaking them in water for 20-30 minutes, hot water 10-25 minutes, or soak them in water and keep in the fridge overnight for quicker prep in the morning.

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, starting with the milk and yogurt, and blend until completely smooth and creamy.

Then pour the strawberry smoothie into a glass, sprinkle gluten-free graham cracker crumbs and freeze dried strawberries on top, if desired, and enjoy immediately.

How To Get the Pink & White Swirl Effect

If you like the pink and white swirl effect, take your empty glass and spread yogurt up the sides of the glass, leaving some empty space, and then pour in the strawberry smoothie, like this:

Tips for the Perfect Texture

• Use frozen strawberries for a thick, frosty consistency.
• Add less milk for a spoonable, dessert-style smoothie.
• Blend thoroughly to ensure the cashews are completely smooth.

FAQ’s

Can I make this without cashews?
Yes, you can substitute with soaked sunflower seeds or use extra yogurt, though the texture will be slightly less rich and creamy.

Can I use fresh strawberries?
You can, but frozen strawberries create a thicker, creamier smoothie. If using fresh, you might want to add ice.

What yogurt works best?
Thicker dairy-free yogurts like cashew, coconut or oat-based yogurt give the best cheesecake-like texture and tang.

What blender do you suggest for the best smoothie with no chunks?
I use a Vitamix Blender. I have had mine for years and it’s a kitchen must-have!

Can I make this ahead of time?
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking.

Can I turn this into a smoothie bowl?
Absolutely—just reduce the liquid and serve it thick with toppings like granola, fresh strawberries, graham cracker crumbs, chopped cashews, or coconut.
