Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted coconut oil or honey. Divide into jars and press to form the base layer.
Beat together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey or syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Layer the cheesecake filling over the graham base in each jar. Add a layer of fresh berries if desired, then top with more filling.
Chill jars in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and the filling set slightly.
Just before serving, top each jar with fresh berries and optional garnishes like extra crumbs, whipped topping, or nuts.

Notes

Garnish with berries, whipped topping, nuts, extra graham crumbs, or a drizzle of nut butter.
Serve with coffee, almond milk, or fresh fruit on the side for a balanced snack or dessert.
Use mini jars for bite-sized servings or larger mason jars for a grab‑and‑go breakfast.
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days; add fresh berry toppings just before eating.
Freeze without berries for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the fridge.
Use yogurt and cream cheese alternatives to make it dairy‑free or vegan.
Swap graham crumbs for gluten‑free crackers, oats, or nut crust for a gluten‑free version.
Omit protein powder and adjust yogurt/cream cheese ratio for a lower‑protein version.
Add cocoa, cinnamon, or flavored protein powder to switch up flavors.
