Some of my friends have said it reminds them of cheesecake flavour. This recipe is gluten free and can be easily adjusted to make it vegan.

Tips & Tricks:

Blending: If your struggling to blend all of the ingredients than try adding some more liquid. It could be more milk or even water.
Add Some Greens: Adding a handful of spinach to this smoothie adds some extra fibre and iron. Use any greens you have around could be a cucumber or even arugula.
Make It Vegan: Swap out the yogurt for a dairy free alternative and you are good to go!
Make Ahead: You can store the ingredients for this smoothie in a prepped bag in your freezer. When ready add it to your blender along with milk. You can also blend the smoothie and store in a mason jar for 1-2 days. Make sure to shake or stir the mixture before drinking again since the smoothie will separate.
Make Smoothie Cubes: You can freeze your smoothie in an ice cube tray and pop them out to defrost or mix with milk for an easy on the go smoothie.
