Ingredients Needed
- Milk - Dairy does not like me at all so I go for a lactose free milk such as Fairlife. It also has more protein in it.
- Frozen strawberries or blueberries - use when you can get them in season
- Instant pudding mix, cheesecake flavor - This is such a versatile ingredient to use in many desserts, I love them cause there’s so many flavors. Just add in milk to the pudding.
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.
How to make Cheesecake Smoothie:
Just combine the milk, strawberries, and dry instant pudding mix into a blender and let the blender do the rest of the work! The blender I like to use is this one.

Pro Tips for Cheesecake Smoothie
Use frozen strawberries for the thickest and creamiest smoothie. They also help keep the smoothie cold without watering it down as much as ice.
Let the cream cheese soften slightly before blending. This can make it easier for your blender to create a smooth texture.
Start with less honey and add more if needed. Strawberries can vary quite a bit in sweetness.
For even more cheesecake flavor, add a tablespoon of crushed graham crackers directly to the blender.
If your smoothie is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you reach the consistency you like.
Storage and Freezing
Smoothies are best enjoyed right after blending, but you can store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
The smoothie may separate as it sits, so give it a good stir or shake before drinking. For the best texture and flavor, I recommend making this smoothie fresh whenever possible.
You can also freeze leftover smoothie in ice cube trays. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag and blend them later with a splash of milk for another smoothie.
Recipe FAQS
Oh, where to begin with this… This is one rule on WW that no one really follows. There are some people that actually decided to count the blended fruit in a smoothie and some that don’t. A rule is a rule and WWs counts blended fruits because you drink blended fruit faster than you would chewing just a piece of fruit. However, there is one rule to smoothies that I’ve been reading on Facebook and that is if you make a smoothie bowl and eat it with a spoon it is like eating applesauce for 1 smart point. This was in a group I follow on FB. On WW website it says nothing about that and it is kind of hard to believe what some people have to say online. I really wish WW would update their link to the blended fruit and smoothies rule in regards to all the questions people ask about this. Let me know what your thoughts are on this rule in the comments below.
Yes, you can use sugar-free pudding mix. In the future whenever I have a recipe that requires instant pudding mix I will leave this option out there. I do not like sugar-free pudding mix at all because it has a weird after taste and sugar-free foods do not agree with my stomach

Instead of regular pudding cheesecake. I used the sugar free!
Plus great for type 2 diabetics
Jenna says
The recipe does not call for any ice.
Beverly says
How much ice do you use for the recipe?
Jenna says
Yes, I agree Lauren! I love smoothies for breakfast because it keeps my sodium levels low for the day. Plus I get my potassium and other nutrients in.

This looks so good! I can see both sides of the fruit argument. Having a smoothie CAN be filling, like eating all of that fruit in one sitting, but it is consumed faster. I also don't know a lot of people who do eat that much fruit in one sitting! I guess making a smoothie bowl with other toppings and eating it with a spoon makes sense, in terms of counting it for a point or two? It would be nice to see updates on WW's website!
