Inspired by my love of cheesecake, and my need to increase my protein intake, I took to the internet to see what kinds of snacks I could come up with.
There are a lot of variations of this recipe floating around. Some people use cottage cheese instead of Greek Yogurt, but I strongly dislike cottage cheese.
I like to make a big batch at once, however, if this is not ideal for you, I will also include the recipe for the individual serving size below.
My go-to base recipe is:
- 1 small package of sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 tub sugar-free cool whip
- 2 3/4 cups Greek yogurt I like vanilla Oikos Triple Zero
Directions:
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
- Top with your choice of fruits, etc, and enjoy.
Serves 6-8.
Individual Serving:
- 1 Tablespoons of sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix
- 2 Tablespoons of sugar-free cool whip
- 1 5.3 ounce cup of Greek yogurt I like vanilla Oikos Triple Zero (that’s a single serving size cup)
Directions:
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
- Top with your choice of fruits, etc, and enjoy.
Serves 1.
Some of my favorite toppings include:
- Sliced, fresh berries
- Freeze-dried strawberries or mangoes (I like to crush them and mix them into the fluff)
- Oreos or graham crackers
- Brownies (the Fiber One Brownies are great because they are individually wrapped and portioned controlled)
Bonus Tip: If you are really looking to pump up your protein intake, I have seen some recipes that call for a scoop of your favorite protein powder too (usually vanilla or cheesecake flavor), and a splash of your favorite milk to help the protein powder incorporate). I have not done that because I drink already made protein shakes for breakfast.
