No Bake Vanilla Protein Cheesecake

No Bake Vanilla Protein Cheesecake

I think that making a batch of this No Bake vanilla protein cheesecake should be at the top of your priority list right now. I mean it’s on mine and I'm in the middle of studying for my uni exams so it's a crazy time. That doesn’t matter.. Work-Uni-Life put it all on hold for this. It’s worth it, trust me. It’s crazy delicious, plus I’ve made it healthier with Greek yogurt and light cream cheese, and upped the protein with Maxines Burn vanilla protein powder. The best bit, I made it in a cute little jar for two to share with your bestie, gym buddy or other half. Doesn’t get much better in my opinion. I admit that sometimes my recipes can be a little left of field, a little experimental and for some it may not be their cup of tea. But this? This gets a big tick of approval from everyone who tried it. The lucky guy I shared mine with had to stop himself from eating the entire thing... then went to check the next day whether I had eaten my section of it yet! The filling tastes like a classic cheesecake, and is perfect for whatever toppings you might be craving. I went with raspberries for their sour tang to cut through the decadent vanilla protein cheese, a seriously good combo. All you have to do is blend everything up, pop it in the fridge to firm up for a few hours, and then dive in. A healthy dessert that hits the spot, go ahead, just make sure you get your serving!
