Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Light Cream Cheese or Neufchâtel
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 1 scoop Protein Powder (vanilla-flavored whey or casein)
  • Sweetener of Choice (erythritol, stevia, monk fruit, or a blend)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup Crushed Graham Crackers or Digestive Biscuits
  • 2 tbsp Melted Coconut Oil or Light Butter
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 tbsp Sugar-free fruit compote
  • Nut butter
  • Sugar-free chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Jars – Gather your jars, typically 8-ounce mason jars, ensuring they are clean and dry.
  2. Make the Crust – Combine crushed graham crackers with sweetener and melted coconut oil or light butter until it resembles wet sand.
  3. Assemble the Crust Layer – Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the crust mixture into each jar and press down to create an even layer. Refrigerate.
  4. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling – In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, Greek yogurt, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon juice until smooth.
  5. Incorporate the Protein Powder – Gradually add the protein powder to the mixture, beating on low until fully combined, adjusting with milk if needed.
  6. Fill the Jars – Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the jars, filling about three-quarters full.
  7. Chill to Perfection – Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Add Your Toppings – Before serving, top with fresh berries and optional nut butter or sugar-free chocolate shavings.

Notes

These jars can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. They make for a perfect grab-and-go snack if made in advance. Adjust the sweetness to your preference.
