Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Bowl
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Diet: High-Protein, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free (option)
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Non-fat Greek Yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1/2 cup Low-fat Cottage Cheese
- 1 scoop Strawberry or Vanilla Protein Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Fresh Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon Graham Cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Honey or Stevia (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. If you prefer a completely smooth texture like traditional cheesecake, you can quickly pulse the cottage cheese in a blender before adding it to the yogurt. Stir them together until well incorporated.
- Add the protein powder and vanilla extract to the yogurt mixture. Use a spoon or a small whisk to stir gently at first so the powder doesn’t fly out of the bowl. Continue mixing until the powder is fully dissolved and the base is smooth and creamy.
- Wash and slice your fresh strawberries. If your berries are a bit tart, you can toss them in a tiny bit of honey or sweetener beforehand to bring out their natural juices. This creates a “compote” feel that sits beautifully on top of the bowl.
- Transfer the protein mixture into a serving bowl. Layer the sliced strawberries over the top in an even layer. Finish the dish by sprinkling the graham cracker crumbs over the berries to provide that signature cheesecake crust crunch.
