Healthy Low Fat Protein Cheesecake Bites Recipe

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts. However dominating a few pieces of cheesecake can really mess up a diet. Cheesecake is loaded with fat and sugar and really has no place in anyone's diet. I still, however, would like to eat cheesecake more often than just once or twice a year so I came up with this Healthy Low Fat Protein Cheesecake Bites Recipe. Using a few healthy ingredients I was able to mimic the texture and density of the cheesecake while still keeping it healthy. Add in my low-fat graham crackers for the crunch and flash-frozen berries for the topping and you have a great healthy alternative. In each cheesecake bite there are approximately 140 calories, 9g protein and 1g fat.

Ingredients:

• 1/2c Cottage Cheese
• 1 Frozen Banana
• 2 tbsp Jello Cheesecake Pudding Mix (fat free/sugar free)
• 1/2 scoop Vanilla Whey Protein
• 2 Low Fat Graham Cracker sheets
• 1/4c berries

Directions:

1. Blend cottage cheese and frozen banana until smooth and creamy
2. Stir in pudding mix
3. Slowly add protein powder and stir until it reaches the thick cheesecake consistency
4. Spoon mixture on top of 1/2 of a graham cracker
5. Place in freezer for 30-60 minutes
6. Top with berries
7. Optional - 1/2 tsp vanilla
