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.
