Healthy Protein Cheesecake | 3 Variations
If plain old cheesecake isn’t your thing, there are endless possibilities to making your favorite styles of cheesecake super healthy by adding nutritious ingredients.1. Pumpkin Cheesecake – I’m a pumpkin fanatic and this is one of my favorite cheesecakes. All you have to do is add a few extra ingredients. These are canned pumpkin puree (NOT pie mix), 1tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg and ½ tsp pumpkin pie seasoning. This one is a staple in my house!
2. Strawberry Cheesecake – To make this classic cheesecake simply substitute strawberry whey protein powder and serve with fresh strawberries or other fresh berries.
3. Chocolate Peanut Butter – For this cheesecake you want to use chocolate protein powder and add a tsp of 100% cocoa powder and a tsp of peanut butter. The trick is drizzling peanut butter over the top of a fresh slice of this cake.
If you are as crazy about cheesecake as I am then I hope this recipe finds its way into your regular lineup. Please let me know if you have any questions or cheesecake variations!
