Indulge in a guilt-free treat with these High-Protein Cheesecake Jars. Creamy and satisfying, these individual desserts are packed with protein and flavor, making them a perfect sweet treat.


Ingredients

Cheesecake Mixture:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Base and Toppings:

  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers or high-protein granola
  • Fresh berries or fruit for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, and protein powder. Mix until creamy and fully combined.
