Ingredients

• 300 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 200 grams Low-fat cream cheese, softened
• 60 grams Vanilla-flavored protein powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 50 grams Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Whole wheat graham crackers
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
• 200 grams Natural unsweetened yogurt or fresh fruits (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, blend the whole wheat graham crackers until finely crushed. Add the melted coconut oil and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the lined springform pan to create an even crust. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat cream cheese, and vanilla-flavored protein powder. Whisk or blend until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.

Step 5

Add the eggs, honey, and vanilla extract to the cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.

Step 8

Turn off the oven, crack the door open slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 15-20 minutes to prevent cracking.

Step 9

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to set completely.

Step 10

Before serving, optionally top with a dollop of natural unsweetened yogurt or fresh fruits for added flavor and visual appeal. Slice into 8 portions and enjoy!
