Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones?
Yes, you can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones in this recipe. However, it's worth noting that using frozen strawberries will provide a better flavor and texture for the smoothie. The frozen strawberries help create a thicker consistency and enhance the overall taste of the drink.
Can I make this smoothie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator?
While you can technically make this smoothie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator, it's best enjoyed fresh right after you serve it. This ensures that you experience the optimal texture and flavor of the smoothie.
Can I substitute cottage cheese with Greek yogurt?

Storage Tips

The video for the Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie shows a crumble topping. The ingredients include flour but no butter. Where are the instructions?
Hi Carolyn! The recipe was simplified by removing the flour crumble crust. The flour was mistakenly left in there, but I’ve now corrected it.
If you choose to make the flour crumble, here are the steps: Mix 2 tbsp flour, 1 tsp sweetener, and 1 tsp melted butter in a mixing bowl. Then, spread this mixture on a baking pan and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes until it turns brown. Alternatively, you can opt for the simpler option and just top it with some granola. Hope that helps!
Just made this and it was so good! My toddler enjoyed it too!
I didn’t have almond flour, so I didn’t make the crumble topping – but definitely going to have to try that next time! I also added a little more almond milk (to finish the bottle) and a scoop of collagen peptides. Will definitely make agin!
Do the nutrition facts include the topping?
Hi Lisa! So glad to hear you and your toddler liked it, a win-win! Yes, the nutrition facts do include the optional cheesecake crust.
