35g High Protein Cheesecake: A Creamy, No-Bake Dessert (Secret Ingredient: Cottage Cheese)
When your sweet tooth strikes but you don’t want to derail your wellness goals, this High Protein Cheesecake is the perfect answer. It’s rich, creamy, and tastes indulgent — yet it’s packed with nourishing ingredients like cottage cheese, protein powder, and a touch of maple syrup for natural sweetness.
As a Dual-Certified Nutrition Coach, I love desserts that don’t just taste good but also support your energy, hormones, and recovery. This cheesecake is all that and more — high in protein for blood sugar stability, light enough for post-dinner satisfaction, and versatile enough to use as a snack, fruit dip, or even a breakfast treat.
No baking, no fuss, and no complicated ingredients — just a few minutes in the blender, a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, and a quick chill in the fridge. It’s that easy.
