1. 1. Prepare your base: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, softened cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract.

2. 2. Blend until smooth: Using a whisk or a spoon, vigorously mix all the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and there are no lumps of protein powder or cream cheese. The consistency should be thick and creamy, resembling soft-serve ice cream. If it’s too thick, add another splash of milk; if it’s too thin, add a tiny bit more Greek yogurt or protein powder.

3. 3. Sweeten to taste (optional): If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.

4. 4. Assemble your bowl: Spoon the creamy cheesecake mixture into your favorite serving bowl.

5. 5. Add the strawberries: Arrange the sliced or diced fresh strawberries generously over the top of the cheesecake mixture. The vibrant red of the strawberries against the creamy white base makes it look as good as it tastes.

6. 6. Garnish and serve: If desired, sprinkle with a little granola for crunch, add a few extra whole berries, or drizzle with a touch more honey or maple syrup. Serve immediately and enjoy!
