- 8 oz Greek yogurt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla flavor recommended)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the Greek yogurt, softened cream cheese, honey, vanilla extract, and protein powder until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency without any lumps.
- Layer the Jars: Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly into small jars or glasses, such as mason jars, pressing down gently to create a compact layer.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers evenly on top of the cheesecake mixture in each jar to add a pleasant crunchy texture and enhance the flavor.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake mixture to set firmly and for the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve immediately. Enjoy your high-protein, creamy cheesecake jars as a satisfying dessert or healthy snack.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Vanilla-flavored protein powder works best to complement the cheesecake flavor.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness.
- For added flavor, consider adding a layer of fresh berries between the cheesecake and graham cracker topping.
- Store leftover jars covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
