In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip the cream cheese and yogurt on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the mixed berries to the bowl. If using fresh berries, chop larger berries like strawberries into smaller pieces first. For frozen berries, allow them to partially thaw before adding.
Blend the berries into the mixture using the mixer on low speed until the berries are mostly incorporated. A few chunks are fine for texture.
Add the whey protein powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl.
Continue mixing on medium speed until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is light and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed, by adding more honey or syrup in small increments.
Transfer the whipped berry cream cheese to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold. Spread onto bagels, toast, or use as a dip for fresh fruit.
