Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt (or flavor preference of your choice)
3/4 cup water or milk (Fairlife milk recommended to increase protein content)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 1/2 tablespoons Jell-O Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

Sliced strawberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
Graham cracker crumbs
Chopped nuts
Whipped cream
Crushed pretzels

Instructions

Mix the base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, vanilla protein powder, water or milk, vanilla extract, and Jell-O Cheesecake Instant Pudding Mix. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Chill the mixture: You can serve the mixture immediately or refrigerate it for one to two hours to allow it to thicken and develop a more cheesecake-like texture. Cover the bowl while chilling to prevent drying.
Add toppings and serve: Just before serving, top the cheesecake cups with sliced strawberries and your choice of graham cracker crumbs, chopped nuts, whipped cream, and crushed pretzels. The whipped cream helps balance the protein powder flavor and adds extra richness and decadence to the dessert.

Notes

Using Fairlife milk or a similar high-protein milk option can increase the protein content of the recipe.
For best texture, allow the mixture to chill and thicken in the refrigerator for at least one hour before serving.
Feel free to customize toppings according to your preference.
This recipe is a no-bake and no-cook dessert, making it quick and easy to prepare.
Use non-fat Greek yogurt to keep this dessert low fat and high protein.
The protein powder flavor can be masked nicely by whipped cream or fresh fruit toppings.
