Ingredients
- 3 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
- 12 oz strawberries, sliced
- ¾ cup almond granola
From your pantry: 2 tbsp honey, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ½ tsp lemon zest, pinch of salt.
Instructions
- Blend or food-process the cottage cheese until completely smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add the Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla, lemon zest and salt and blend or whisk until thick and silky. Taste and add a little more honey if you like it sweeter.
- Divide the cheesecake yogurt among 4 bowls or jars and chill 15 minutes if you have time; it firms up and tastes even more like cheesecake.
- Top with strawberries and granola just before eating.
Tip: Crushed graham crackers in place of the granola make it taste even more like a cheesecake. Pack the crunchy topping separately for make-ahead jars so it stays crisp.
