High-Protein Berry Cheesecake Protein Fluff Cups

Creamy, fluffy, lightly sweet, and dangerously snackable straight from the fridge 
This tastes like cheesecake filling crossed with a berry dessert—but with protein goals in mind.

 Time & Yield

• Prep: 10 minutes
• Chill: optional 30–60 minutes (recommended)
• Yield: 3–4 cups

 Ingredients

• 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (very thick works best)
• ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese (or full-fat for richer taste)
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (whey or plant-based)
• 2–3 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, monk fruit, stevia)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Zest of ½ lemon (optional but very cheesecake-like)
• ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
• 1–2 tbsp milk (only if needed to blend)

Optional Toppings

• Extra fresh berries
• Crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
• Dark chocolate chips
• Chia seeds or sliced almonds

 Instructions

1. Blend the base
   Add Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and lemon zest to a blender or food processor.
   Blend until ultra-smooth and fluffy. Scrape sides as needed.
2. Adjust texture
   If too thick, blend in milk 1 tablespoon at a time.
   The texture should resemble whipped cheesecake filling.
3. Fold in berries
   Gently fold in berries by hand for bursts of fruit, or pulse once for a swirled look.
4. Chill & serve
   Spoon into cups or jars. Chill at least 30 minutes for best flavor and structure.

 Q & A

Q: Can I freeze it?
A: Yes! Freeze in small cups. Let sit 5–10 minutes before eating.

A: Vanilla whey gives the creamiest result, but pea/soy blends also work well.
