HIGH PROTEIN CHEESECAKE SQUARES - JUST 155 CALORIES
.
If you like having easy high protein options, these are the perfect easy treat to have on hand.
.
If you divide this recipe in 8 squares, they come in at 155 calories and 17g per square.
.
I made these lower calorie and carb so they dont have a crust, but you can always add a crust at the bottom, too. You can use a premade one or add these on top of a baked crust.
.
Here is how I made these:
.
1.Grab a food processor and add 1 tub of cottage cheese (16oz), 2 large eggs, 4 tablespoons powdered monk fruit, 2 scoops of your favorite vanilla protein powder, 3 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract
.
2.Process really well.
.
3.Grab an oven safe dish. Drop a tablespoon or so of water and layout a piece of parchment paper. This is so the parchment paper sticks. Pour the cheesecake mixture in the pan.
.
4.Strategically toss over the top raspberries.
.
5.Pop into the oven for 45-50 mins at 350F.
.
6.Remove, let it cool COMPLETELY, then refrigerate for at least 5-6 hours, or ideally overnight. This is the most important step of all - this will NOT be good if you eat it right away, so let it cool completely and refrigerate, patience is key :)
.
7.Cut into your preferred number of squares, top with a tablespoon of thick greek yogurt and fresh mashed raspberries, and enjoy.
.
Optional: for the topping, you can mix the thick yogurt with your favorite sweetener and vanilla extract if you’d like, or even some protein powder for more protein, or eat it plain.
.
ENJOY.
