Healthy Protein Cheesecake

I’m a sucker for a good desert, but 99% of the time a decent desert is going to ruin your macros, especially if your on a cut. That’s where this Healthy Protein Cheesecake comes in! it’s not only tasty and macro friendly but its also pretty versatile, you can swap out the ingredients for other flavoured alternatives to make all different kinds of cheesecakes without worrying about your macros! It’s all about making nutrition easier.

• 1/4 Cup Oats

Filling

• 250g Quark
• 125g Low Fat Cottage Cheese
• 25g BulkPowders Pure Series Whey
• 3 Sheets Gelatine
• Juice of Half a Lemon

 

Directions

•  Put the Quest Bar into the microwave for ten seconds to soften it up and then blitz in a food processer with the Peanut Butter & Oat Flour un-till you get a crumbled but combined mix.

The good thing about this recipe is you can customise the flavour to however you want, fancy a Banoffee Pie? use banana flavoured whey and swirl some Walden Farms Caramel over the top, want a Chocolate Cheesecake? use chocolate whey and some Nutella or grate chocolate over the top. You can change it to suit your tastes and it will still fit into your macros! Hope you enjoy the recipe and if you make it, be sure to share on the BT Fitness Facebook or Twitter!
