Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (reserve a few for garnish)

1 banana, frozen

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (plus extra for garnish)

Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: If you haven't done so, freeze the banana ahead of time. This will contribute a creamy texture to the smoothie.

    Blend the Base: In a high-speed blender, combine the fresh raspberries, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice if using.

      Add Texture: Blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, until creamy and smooth. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is well combined.

        Incorporate the Crust Flavor: Add the graham cracker crumbs to the smoothie mixture. Blend again briefly until just combined. This gives that signature cheesecake flavor.

          Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. For an extra thick shake, blend in a handful of ice cubes.

            Serve: Pour the luscious raspberry cheesecake smoothie into chilled glasses.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Top with reserved fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, and a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, fruity goodness!
