High Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Jar

The Creamy, Guilt-Free Treat You’ll Want Every Day

🛒 Ingredients (1 large jar or 2 small servings)

🥣 Cheesecake Filling

• ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

• ¼ cup low-fat cream cheese, softened

• ½ scoop (about 15g) vanilla protein powder

• 1–2 tbsp milk of choice (to thin, if needed)

• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or preferred sweetener

• ¼ tsp vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

🍓 Strawberry Layer

• ½ tsp lemon juice

🍪 Crust Layer

• 2 tbsp crushed graham crackers (or vanilla protein granola)

• 1 tsp melted butter or coconut oil (optional, for richer flavor)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Strawberry Layer

• In a small bowl, mix diced strawberries with maple syrup and lemon juice.

• Let sit 5–10 minutes to release juices (this creates a natural “sauce”).

2️⃣ Make the Cheesecake Filling

• In another bowl, beat Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese until smooth.

• Add protein powder, vanilla, sweetener, and salt.

• Mix until creamy.

• Add a splash of milk if needed for a silky texture.

3️⃣ Prepare the Crust

• Stir crushed graham crackers with melted butter (optional but gives true cheesecake flavor).

4️⃣ Assemble the Jar

Layer in this order:

1. Crust

2. Cheesecake filling

3. Strawberries

Repeat layers if using a larger jar.

5️⃣ Chill

• Refrigerate at least 30–60 minutes (or overnight for best texture).
