- Vegan option: Use a dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based protein powder or Greek-style yogurt alternative.
- No protein powder: Swap for Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Both options still give you a creamy texture and added protein.
- No dates: Feel free to use maple syrup, honey, or a sugar-free option like monk fruit.
- Fresh strawberries: If using fresh strawberries instead of frozen, add a handful of ice to chill and thicken the smoothie.
