Delicious and guilt-free protein cheesecake jars that satisfy your sweet tooth while nourishing your body.

Ingredients

  • Light Cream Cheese or Neufchâtel
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Protein Powder (vanilla-flavored whey or casein)
  • Sweetener of Choice (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, or a blend)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Lemon Juice
  • Crushed Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits
  • Melted Coconut Oil or Light Butter
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Sugar-free fruit compote
  • Nut butter
  • Sugar-free chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare your jars: Gather your jars, typically 8-ounce mason jars. Ensure they are clean and dry.
  2. Make the crust: In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers (or a healthy alternative) with your choice of sweetener and melted coconut oil or light butter. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Assemble the crust layer: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into the bottom of each jar and press down to create an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  4. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, add softened light cream cheese, Greek yogurt, your preferred sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth and creamy.
  5. Incorporate the protein powder: Gradually add the protein powder to the cream cheese mixture, beating on low speed until fully combined. Adjust the consistency with milk if needed.
  6. Fill the jars: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the jars over the crusts, filling about three-quarters full.
  7. Chill to perfection: Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, preferably overnight to achieve the best texture.
  8. Add your toppings: Before serving, add fresh berries or your favorite toppings as desired.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Adjust sweetness to your preference for a delightful experience!
