Description
Guilt-free indulgence with creamy layers of protein-packed cheesecake filling and a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Cream Cheese (reduced-fat optional)
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
- 1 scoop Protein Powder (unflavored or vanilla)
- 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup (adjust as needed)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (pure preferred)
- 1 cup Graham Crackers (crushed)
- 4 tbsp Butter (melted, coconut oil optional)
- Fresh Fruits (berries, bananas, or chocolate sauce for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of your jars.
- Set the Base: Divide the crust mixture into jars and pack down firmly.
- Mix the Filling: Combine cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer for smoothness or whisk until combined.
- Layer It Up: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Refrigerate: Chill jars in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight for better results).
- Top It Off: Once set, add toppings like fresh berries, sliced bananas, or chocolate sauce. You can also sprinkle nuts on top.
Notes
These jars can be frozen; just leave space at the top for expansion and thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
