TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this blueberry cheesecake fantasy.
- Use Ripe Blueberries: Ripe, sweet blueberries enhance the natural sweetness without needing extra honey.
- Chill The Cashew Milk: Using cold cashew milk makes the smoothie extra refreshing.
- Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the honey amount based on preference or substitute with agave syrup or a sugar-free alternative.
- Blend For Longer: A longer blend time ensures a smoother consistency, especially if using frozen blueberries.
- Boost The Creaminess: Add an extra tablespoon of Greek yoghurt for a richer texture.
- Make It Extra Thick: Reduce the cashew milk for a spoonable smoothie bowl.
VARIATIONS
- Higher Protein: Blend in a scoop of vanilla or blueberry protein powder for extra protein.
- Nutty Flavour: Add a teaspoon of almond butter or cashew butter for a richer taste.
- Coconut Twist: Use coconut milk instead of cashew milk for a tropical flavour.
- Berry Mix: Swap half the blueberries for raspberries or blackberries for a mixed berry variation.
- Cheesecake Crust Flavour: Sprinkle in a pinch of crushed graham crackers for an authentic cheesecake experience.
- Dairy-Free Option: Replace Greek yoghurt with a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond yoghurt.
- Spiced Version: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra depth of flavour.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours in an airtight container. Stir well before drinking.
- Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend with fresh cashew milk when ready to serve.
- Meal Prep: Pre-portion blueberries and yoghurt into freezer bags for quick blending on busy mornings.
