These creamy, protein-packed cheesecake jars are a perfect blend of indulgence and health, satisfying your sweet cravings without guilt.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/3 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries
  • Chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)
  • Chocolate shavings or drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until crumbs are evenly moistened.
  2. Divide the crust mixture evenly among jars or serving dishes. Press down gently to form a compact base. Set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  6. Spoon cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crusts in jars, filling them about 2/3 full.
  7. Top cheesecake filling with fresh berries, chopped nuts, or your favorite toppings.
  8. Cover jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the cheesecake filling to set.
  9. Serve chilled and enjoy! These can be made a day ahead for convenience.
