Ingredients
For the Lemon Cheesecake Whip Base:
1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or low-fat cottage cheese)
1 scoop (30g) Vanilla or lemon protein powder (whey/casein blend works best)
1/2 tbsp Sugar-free lemon instant pudding mix (for extra thickness and flavor)
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp Lemon zest
1 to 2 tbsp Zero-calorie liquid sweetener (like monkfruit or stevia)
For the Blueberry Mix-In & Crust Layer:
1/3 cup Fresh or frozen blueberries (slightly mashed)
1 tbsp Graham cracker crumbs (or almond flour, for topping)
Extra fresh blueberries & lemon zest (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Blend Whip Base: In a bowl or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, protein powder, lemon pudding mix, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sweetener. Whisk or blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until light, airy, and silky smooth.
2. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the slightly mashed blueberries into the lemon whip to create lovely purple specks and bursts of flavor throughout.
3. Layer & Garnish: Transfer the whip into your meal-prep containers. Top each tub with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, fresh blueberries, and a pinch of lemon zest.
4. Chill & Serve: Enjoy immediately, or chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the pudding mix set for an even thicker cheesecake texture!
Chef’s Tips
Cottage Cheese Trick: If using cottage cheese, blend it in a high-speed blender first until completely smooth before adding the protein powder—it creates an authentic, rich cheesecake flavor!
Casein/Whey Blend: A protein blend containing casein creates a much thicker, mousse-like consistency compared to 100% whey isolate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I prep these for the whole week?
Yes! Seal with lids and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. Keep the graham cracker crumbs separate and sprinkle them on top right before eating so they stay crunchy.
