This Lemon Cheesecake Smoothie is the most decadent, rich and creamy smoothie you’ve ever had! It is naturally vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free!
If you try it, you’d never believe this drink (or should I say cream?) is healthy because it tastes so decadent, creamy and rich! Exactly like a Lemon Cheesecake! So let me present to you my naturally vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar-free LEMON CHEESECAKE SMOOTHIE! Yum!
I didn’t know smoothies could taste that amazing. I would have started drinking them a long time ago! Seriously.
I’m usually not a smoothie person but this one turned out so amazing, I simply have to share it with you! After my boyfriend took the first sip, he rewarded me with a hug and applause and he said, that this is the best smoothie he ever had! And I think so too.
Do you remember my Lemon Cheesecake recipe? It’s made with Alpro’s Cremoso but unfortunately, it is only available in parts of Europe, but this smoothie tastes exactly like it! The only difference is that this smoothie is made with natural, healthy ingredients. If you wouldn’t make this smoothie yourself, you would never believe it’s healthy! It’s perfect as a creamy dessert as well.

It's my favorite smoothie! :) Except it's more like a creamy dessert than a smoothie. Thihi :)

This sounds delicious! I love making smoothies and my kids would love this one. Anything I could sub for the coconut meat? I have everything on hand except that...thanks!

Mhhhh... that's an excellent question, Anjali. Honestly, I'm unsure. Maybe some coconut cream could work in place of the coconut meat.. but I'm not sure how much it will change the taste and consistency. I'd have to try it out first.

I love vegan smoothies. Seems like dates are always incorporated. Nice photography and those straws are crazy cool.

Thanks Jenn! The smoothie tasted so decadent, rich and creamy, I thought about naming the recipe Lemon Cheesecake Cream or something.. but smoothie sounds much healthier and it really is healthy.
