Here’s a High-Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Jar recipe that tastes like dessert but works as a healthy snack or post-workout treat.
High-Protein Strawberry Cheesecake Jar
Ingredients (1 large jar or 2 small jars)
Cheesecake layer:
200 g Greek yogurt (thick, unsweetened)
100 g low-fat cream cheese (or light cream cheese)
1–2 tbsp honey or sweetener (to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (boosts protein a lot)
Strawberry layer:
1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
1 tsp honey or sweetener
1 tsp lemon juice (optional, enhances flavor)
Base (optional but recommended):
2–3 crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
(or oats for a healthier version)
Instructions
1. Make strawberry topping
Cook strawberries in a pan on medium heat.
Add honey + lemon juice.
Mash slightly and cook until it becomes jam-like (5–7 min).
Let it cool.
2. Make cheesecake filling
Mix Greek yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla, and sweetener.
If using protein powder, mix it in slowly to avoid lumps.
Whisk until smooth and creamy.
3. Assemble the jar
Layer in this order:
Crushed biscuits / oats
Cheesecake mixture
Strawberry compote
Repeat layers if jar is large

High satiety, low sugar (if sweetener used)
Tips
Chill for at least 1–2 hours for best “cheesecake set” texture.
Use frozen strawberries if fresh aren’t available.
Add chia seeds for extra fiber and thickness.
For extra indulgence: drizzle dark chocolate on top.
If you want, I can also make:
a no-cream-cheese version (even higher protein, lower fat)
a meal-prep 5-jar batch recipe
or a weight-loss version under 250 calories
