Ingredients
  

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, preferably low-fat)

1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat)

1/3 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries) for topping

Optional: nuts or granola for added crunch

Instructions
 

Prepare the Base: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour) with melted coconut oil or butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your jars to create a crust layer. You can use small mason jars or dessert cups.

    Blend the Filling: In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.

      Assemble the Jars: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, filling them about full. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.

        Chill: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible. This will help the cheesecake set and the flavors meld together beautifully.

          Serve: When ready to serve, top each cheesecake jar with fresh berries and sprinkle with nuts or granola if desired. Enjoy your high-protein dessert thats both delicious and nutritious!
