Here’s a light, creamy, and protein-packed Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Fluff—perfect for dessert or a snack:
Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Fluff
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup fat-free or low-fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1–2 scoops vanilla or strawberry protein powder
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ¼ cup crushed graham crackers or granola for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries
- If using frozen strawberries, thaw slightly. Mash lightly with a fork for a smoother texture or leave chunky for more bite.
- Mix the base
- In a large bowl, beat together Greek yogurt and softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add protein and flavor
- Mix in protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Fold in strawberries
- Gently fold mashed or chopped strawberries into the mixture.
- Chill (optional)
- Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for a firmer, fluffier texture, or serve immediately for a soft, mousse-like consistency.
- Serve
- Spoon into bowls or cups and top with crushed graham crackers, granola, or extra strawberries.
💡 Tips:
- For an even fluffier texture, whip the cream cheese and yogurt in a stand mixer for 1–2 minutes before folding in the strawberries.
- You can swap strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries.
- Adjust sweetness and protein powder based on taste and dietary goals.
If you want, I can also give a no-bake layered strawberry cheesecake protein parfait version that looks fancy but stays healthy and protein-packed.
Do you want me to provide that parfait version?
