Can I put cream cheese in a protein shake?

Yes, you absolutely can! Cream cheese gives your strawberry cheesecake protein shake a richer texture and stronger cheesecake flavor. Just use about 1–2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese and blend until completely smooth. If you're looking for a lower-fat option, try reduced-fat or even Greek yogurt, like we use in these no bake protein cheesecake jars.

What to make with strawberry cheesecake protein powder?

That flavored protein powder is super versatile. Besides using it in this shake, try it in overnight oats, baked oatmeal cups, or homemade protein bars. For no-bake ideas, pair it with nut butter and oats to make quick protein balls, similar to our gluten-free protein balls .

Does Sonic have a strawberry cheesecake milkshake?

They’ve had seasonal shakes like that before, but they’re typically high in sugar and calories. Making your own strawberry cheesecake protein shake at home gives you all the flavor with way more control over the ingredients—plus the protein boost you’re after.

What not to mix with protein shake?

Avoid high-acid fruits like pineapple or citrus when using dairy-based protein powders—they can sometimes curdle the mixture. Also steer clear of too many fibrous ingredients at once (like raw spinach + flax + chia) if you want a smooth texture. This shake keeps it simple, just like our mint chocolate chip ice cream bars —which are another fun chilled dessert option!
