Ingredients
- 1 cup rhubarb stalks (trimmed and chopped)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain)
- 1 cup milk (any kind)

Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb softens and breaks down into a thick compote. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a blender, add the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and the cooled rhubarb compote.
Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the smoothie is thick and frothy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with additional honey, if desired.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and garnish with crumbled graham crackers for a cheesecake-inspired touch.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy!
