Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full-fat)
- 8 oz light cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Assembly:
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or high-protein granola
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Optional extra berries or granola for topping
Instructions
- Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Assembly: To assemble, spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers or protein granola into the bottom of 4 small jars or cups. Add a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the base, then top with fresh berries. Repeat layers if desired.
- Chill: Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. Top with extra berries or granola just before enjoying.
Notes
- Use a flavored protein powder to change up the taste—vanilla, strawberry, or chocolate all work well.
- To make it lower-carb, skip the cracker base or use a low-carb granola.
