High-Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Bowl -

The Cheesecake Base:
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or vanilla Greek yogurt for extra sweetness)
- 2 tbsp light cream cheese or Neufchâtel (softened, gives it that authentic cheesecake tang and texture)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Sweetener of choice to taste (stevia, monk fruit, or honey)
The Strawberry Layer:
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 tsp sugar-free strawberry jam or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (to enhance the fruit flavor)
The “Crust” (Optional Crunch):
- 2 tbsp crushed high-protein or low-carb graham crackers, or 2 tbsp crumbled oat cereal for texture

Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, softened light cream cheese, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth and creamy.
Blend in the Protein: Slowly add the vanilla protein powder, stirring gently until fully incorporated and thick. (If the mixture is too thick, a tiny splash of almond milk or milk of choice can help smooth it out).
Prep the Strawberries: Toss the diced fresh strawberries with the lemon juice or sugar-free jam to create a light glaze.
Assemble: Spoon the high-protein cheesecake mixture into a serving bowl or glass. Top generously with the glazed strawberries.
Add the Crust: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers or cereal over the top just before eating to maintain a nice crunch.
