Create creamy, macro friendly protein cheesecake jars using Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. This easy, no-bake dessert is perfect for meal prep and delivers high protein content per serving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (whey or casein blend recommended)
  • 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred granular sweetener
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or low-carb biscuit crumbs (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Blend the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no lumps remain. This step is key for a classic cheesecake texture.
  3. Divide the mixture evenly among four small mason jars or serving cups.
  4. Cover the jars and place them in the refrigerator to chill and set for at least 2 hours.
  5. Before serving, top each jar with the crushed graham cracker crumbs or biscuit crumbs.
  6. Serve cold as a satisfying, high protein dessert or easy protein snack.

Notes

  • For a thicker texture, use casein protein powder, as it absorbs more liquid than whey.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker topping with crushed nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for variety.
  • This recipe yields approximately 25 grams of protein per jar, depending on your specific protein powder brand.
