Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, frozen strawberries, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, cream cheese, and ice cubes. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk to reach your desired texture.

Step 2: Adjust Sweetness

Give your frappuccino a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, add a bit more honey or maple syrup and blend again to combine.

Step 3: Serve

Pour the blended mixture into a tall glass. If you’re feeling indulgent, top it with a dollop of the whipped cream topping or light whipped cream.

Step 4: Garnish

Add a few fresh strawberry slices on top for a pop of color and freshness. For an extra touch of sweetness and flair, drizzle strawberry syrup over the whipped cream.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Grab a straw, give it a stir, and savor every sip of your homemade Healthier Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino. It’s the perfect balance of creamy, fruity, and refreshing!
