Single Serving No Bake Protein Cheesecake

Single Serving No Bake Protein Cheesecake



Macros: Cals 155, Carbs 19, Fat 0, Protein 21, Sugar 6, Fiber 3

1/2 Cup Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
8 grams Jello Sugar Free Pudding mix
1/4 scoop Vanilla Whey protein
1/4 cup of Fiber One Honey Squares
1 TSP Torani Sugar Free syrup

-In a Ziplock bag, crush cereal into a gram cracker like crumble and put it at the base of your serving dish
-Mix remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and layer on top of the crust.

This takes about 5 minutes to make - it's perfect to take to work/school as a snack or as a "dessert deterrent". 

If you find that the cheesecake batter is a little dry - I find it can be if left too long - add a dash of milk or coconut milk! 

If you're making more than one serving, I like to use a food processor to make the crust - it's  a much more authentic consistency.

The idea - use cabbage instead of noodles

Recipe: 

1 chicken breast (substitute tofu)

--Vegetables--
1 whole red pepper
1 cup cubed butternut squash
1/2 cup broccoli florets
1 cup shredded red cabbage (so that it somewhat resembles fettuccine/rice noodles)
1 cup shredded cabbage

-- Spices --
3 kaffir lime leafs (optional)
Clubhouse Thai spice to taste (between 1-2 TBS)
Thai basil (can use regular basil)
Chili flakes to taste
1 TBS Coconut Peanut spread (can substitute by mixing natural peanut butter and coconut oil)
1 TBS reduced sodium soy sauce
1 TBS minced garlic
1 TBS minced ginger
1.5 cups water
Fresh cilantro to taste

Instructions:

  • In a sauce pan, mix in all "spice" ingredients" with diced chicken breast 
  • Simmer, adding water as needed (you want there to be enough sauce to cover the vegetables when you add them
  • Microwave squash until tender - will mush up in the sauce and make it buttery good!
  • Add vegetables, simmer until cooked

This makes a huge portion… so you *could* share… but I never do :)
