Here’s a light and airy Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Fluff — perfect as a dessert or high-protein snack.
🍓 Strawberry Cheesecake Protein Fluff
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries (thawed if frozen)
- ½ cup low-fat cream cheese, softened
- ½–1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 20–25 g)
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: fresh strawberry slices for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep Strawberries
- Wash and hull strawberries.
- Puree half of the strawberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
2️⃣ Mix Base
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
- Add Greek yogurt, protein powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy.
3️⃣ Fold in Strawberries
- Fold the pureed strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Chop remaining strawberries into small pieces and gently fold them in for texture.
4️⃣ Whip
- Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture 1–2 minutes to make it light and fluffy.
5️⃣ Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to allow it to set slightly.
- Serve in cups or bowls, topped with fresh strawberries.
Tips & Variations
- Lower sugar: Use stevia or monk fruit instead of honey or maple syrup.
- Extra fluff: Fold in ¼ cup whipped cream or aquafaba for a lighter texture.
- Flavor twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for a bright cheesecake flavor.
- Make it layered: Alternate strawberry puree and protein fluff in a glass for a parfait-style dessert.
If you want, I can also give a microwave or single-serving version that whips up in 5 minutes for a quick protein snack.
Do you want me to provide that version?
