Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Cups {Healthy, High Protein}
These mini strawberry cheesecake cups creamy, decadent yet healthy - with 15 grams of protein in a small serving. Feel free to eat 2-3 servings at a time! Only 5 minutes of prep with lots of topping variations.
Ingredients
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (or flavor preference of your choice)
- 3/4 cup water or milk. Use Fairlife milk to increase the protein content.
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
- 2 1/2 tablespoons Jell-O Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Sliced strawberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Chopped nuts
- Whipped cream
- Crushed pretzels
Instructions
- Combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, water, vanila extract and cheesecake mix into a bowl. Use a whisk, and stir until smooth and creamy.
- Serve right away, or allow to thicken in the fridge for an hour or two. I recommend adding the toppings right before serving. Top with sliced strawberries and any other toppings of your choice.I highly recommend whipped cream because it really masks that protein powder flavor and just adds to the decadence and deliciousness.
Notes
- Add more water if the mini cheesecake cups have that gritty protein powder taste.
- Incorporate chia seeds to increase fiber content.
- Sweeten with honey or monk fruit sweetener for additional sweetness.
