Treat yourself to a burst of citrusy freshness and creamy indulgence with our Lemon Cheesecake Protein Smoothie — a delightful concoction that blends the zesty tang of lemon with the rich creaminess of cheesecake in a refreshing smoothie form. This recipe is not only a treat for your taste buds but also a nutritious option for those seeking a protein-packed breakfast or post-workout snack.

If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, you can replace the almond milk, heavy cream, and cream cheese with canned coconut milk. That said, the macros will change a bit so make sure to adjust those if that is what you end up doing! You can alternatively swap out the protein powder for collagen if you are wanting a high-collagen twist.
