Skinny Berry Cheesecake Smoothie

By Kami Watson of Sweet Charli

I love being able to blend something healthy up when I am on the go. This berry cheesecake smoothie is a favorite not only because of the taste, but also because it has fiber, protein, and calcium! It wasn't until I got my first Blendtec that I really started to enjoy coming up with new recipes.

My goal has been to create recipes that both my kids and myself can enjoy equally. This berry cheesecake smoothie does just that. The flavor of creamy vanilla, favorite berries, and graham all come together just perfectly to make you want to keep sipping it down. My kids love it! For this smoothie I use a variety of berries. I’ve made strawberry (pictured), blueberry, and raspberry cheesecake smoothies. All are delicious, and whichever you have on hand will be sure to please your taste buds.
