- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Diet: High-Protein, Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1/3 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 scoop (approx. 30g) vanilla whey or casein protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon crushed graham crackers
- 1 teaspoon chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- A dash of cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt and the pumpkin puree. Use a spoon or a small whisk to stir them together until the color is consistent and the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly fold in the vanilla protein powder and the pumpkin pie spice. Stir carefully to ensure the powder is fully incorporated and there are no dry clumps. If the mixture feels too thick, you can add a teaspoon of milk or water to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the mixture. If you prefer a sweeter “cheesecake” flavor, stir in your maple syrup, honey, or a few drops of liquid stevia. Mix well until the sweetener is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top to provide that classic cheesecake crust texture. Add the chopped pecans and a final dash of cinnamon for a beautiful and delicious finish.
