High Protein Cheesecake Jars

Print Recipe

Inspired by dessert cravings and protein goals, these jars became my go-to fix after too many snack-time regrets. Imagine rich cheesecake with none of the guilt—just spoon, scoop, and smile. They’re portioned for control, loaded with protein, and portable for life on the move. Whether it’s post-gym or post-meeting, these are the jars you didn’t know you needed.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup almond flour (or crushed graham crackers)

2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter

1–2 tbsp sweetener of choice

Filling Ingredients:

8 oz low-fat cream cheese, softened

1 cup Greek yogurt (2% or non-fat)

1–2 scoops vanilla protein powder

2–3 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or sugar-free)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional: 1–2 tbsp lemon juice for a zesty lift

Instructions

Make the Crust: Mix almond flour, oil, and sweetener until it feels like damp sand. Press 2–3 tbsp into small jars (4–6 oz). Chill 10–15 mins or bake at 350°F for 8–10 mins until golden.

Mix the Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Greek yogurt and blend. Mix in protein powder one scoop at a time, then sweetener and vanilla. Adjust flavor with lemon juice if desired.

Assemble: Layer about ¼ cup filling over crust in each jar. Add toppings like berries, nuts, or a drizzle of caramel.

Chill: Refrigerate at least 2 hours—overnight is even better for perfect texture.

Notes

Cheesecake without compromise—delicious, nutritious, and made for real life.
