Today's Ingredients I suspect my co-workers think I'm a weirdo because I don't really care for cake in any form — cupcakes, wedding cakes, birthday cakes … no, thank you. But today's recipe isn't actually a cake. It combines the quintessential flavors of an average strawberry cheesecake into a thick, high-protein smoothie.

Kenny Thapoung Managing Newsletter Editor   Written by Kenny Thapoung October 6, 2024 • 2.5 min read Powered by   Recipe of the Week Strawberry cheesecake smoothie Surprise! This smoothie does not contain cheese. The thick texture comes from pitted dates, strawberries (fresh or frozen — either works great), and cashews. Let's take a quick moment to talk about cashews. They add an extra punch of nutrients to this smoothie that you might not expect. Cashews are rich in fiber, heart-healthy fats, and plant protein. They're also a good source of copper, magnesium, and manganese — all of which are essential for energy production, brain health, immunity, and bone health. I'm not the biggest fan of cow's milk for my smoothies — my preferred options are unsweetened almond milk and cashew milk (which is harder to find in grocery stores, but it exists). The choice of protein powder flavor is totally up to you. A simple vanilla is always a solid choice!

This version has suction cups on the bottom to prevent slipping too. Gosh, I miss it so much.
