Why do you use cottage cheese for this healthy cheesecake?

Cottage cheese provides extra protein and gives that typical fresh cheesecake flavor without needing cream cheese.

Can I use other fruit in this cheesecake?

Absolutely. This cheesecake is delicious with strawberries, blueberries, mango, peach, kiwi, or a mix of red fruits.

Yes, you can eat this protein-rich cheesecake for breakfast. Thanks to the combination of protein, yogurt, cottage cheese, and fruit, this is perfect as a nutritious breakfast or snack.

Which protein is best to use for this cheesecake?

For this healthy cheesecake, I used a beauty collagen protein with collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and biotin. It also supports my skin, hair, and nails, but you can also use a different neutral or vanilla protein.

Can I make the banana-strawberry cheesecake in advance?

Yes, the banana-strawberry cheesecake is ideal to make a day in advance. Store covered in the refrigerator and, if desired, only garnish with fruit just before serving.

Easy

I've been trying to consciously get enough protein for a long time now. Especially as a woman in my early fifties 😊, I notice how much of a difference it makes. Of course, a protein shake is convenient, but sometimes I just feel like eating my protein instead of drinking it.

That's why I made this delicious protein banana-strawberry cheesecake in a glass. A dessert that tastes like a treat, while your body benefits greatly from all the good ingredients. At the bottom, there's a crispy speculoos crumble with no added sugar. You can also use granola. On top of that, there's a creamy cheesecake filling made with cottage cheese, yogurt, banana, and collagen proteins. I finish it off with a spoonful of yogurt and fresh fruit. Perfect as breakfast, an afternoon snack, dessert, or as convenient meal prep for the next day.Do you like this healthy version? Then be sure to try this healthy and high-fiber cheesecake.
