Make these easy, no-bake, high protein cheesecake jars featuring a bright berry swirl. They are perfect for single servings and meal prep for your fitness goals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • For the Crust (Optional): 1/2 cup almond flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, 1 tablespoon sweetener

Instructions

  1. Prepare the berry swirl: Place the mixed berries and water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds until soft. Mash lightly with a fork. Set aside.
  2. If using the crust: Combine almond flour, melted butter, and sweetener in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly. Divide this mixture evenly among four small jars, pressing lightly into the bottom.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, erythritol, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
  4. Layer the jars: Spoon half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust layer (or directly into the jars if skipping the crust).
  5. Create the swirl: Drop small spoonfuls of the mashed berry mixture over the cheesecake layer. Use a toothpick or small knife to gently swirl the berries into the filling to create a marbled effect.
  6. Top with the remaining cheesecake mixture and repeat the swirling process with any remaining berries.
  7. Cover the jars and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow them to set firm.

Notes

  • For best results and a smoother texture, ensure your cottage cheese is well-blended before adding other ingredients.
  • You can substitute the mixed berries with strawberries or blueberries alone.
  • These individual dessert cups are excellent for grab-and-go high protein snacks throughout the week.
