Ingredients
  

  • Frozen strawberries (unsweetened)
  • Cream cheese (full-fat, softened)
  • Heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk (or a mix)
  • Unsweetened Greek yogurt or plain skyr (optional, for tang and protein)
  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon juice (fresh, just a squeeze for cheesecake tang)
  • Low-carb sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
  • Protein powder (unflavored, vanilla whey, or collagen; optional)
  • MCT oil or coconut oil (optional, for extra fats and creaminess)
  • Ice cubes
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavor)
  • Whipped cream (sugar-free, optional topping)
  • Crushed keto-friendly cookie or almond meal (optional “crust” garnish)

Method
 

  1. Soften the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temp for 10–15 minutes so it blends smoothly with no lumps.
  2. Measure your base. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream (or 1/4 cup heavy cream + 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk) to the blender. This combo gives a rich but sippable texture.
  3. Add the cheesecake layer. Drop in 2–3 ounces of cream cheese and 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened Greek yogurt (optional but recommended for tang).
  4. Flavor boosts. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1–2 teaspoons lemon juice, and a small pinch of sea salt.
  5. Sweeten smartly. Start with 1–2 tablespoons of your preferred low-carb sweetener. You can add more to taste later.
  6. Protein and fats (optional). Add 1 scoop protein powder or 1–2 tablespoons collagen, and 1 teaspoon MCT oil if using.
  7. Add the fruit and ice. Add 3/4 to 1 cup frozen strawberries and a handful of ice cubes for thickness.
  8. Blend until creamy. Start low, then go high for 30–45 seconds until velvety. Scrape down the sides if needed to catch any cream cheese.
  9. Taste and adjust. Want more tang? Add a few more drops of lemon. Need it sweeter? Add a bit more sweetener. Too thick? Splash in more almond milk.
  10. Serve with flair. Pour into a chilled glass. Top with sugar-free whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed keto cookie or almond meal for a “graham crust” vibe.
