- 120g digestive biscuits, crushed
- 30g light butter, melted
- 400g low-fat cottage cheese
- 150g plain Greek yogurt
- 30g vanilla whey protein powder
- 60g honey

Instructions
1. Stir the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and press firmly into the bases of 4 small glasses or ramekins.
2. Blend the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, protein powder, honey, vanilla and lemon juice for 2-3 minutes until completely silky - no lumps.
3. Spoon the filling over the biscuit bases and smooth the tops.
4. Chill for at least 2 hours until set.
5. Top each cup with fresh berries just before serving.
6. Serve cold, straight from the fridge - the filling firms up beautifully and tastes like real cheesecake.
I get hit with a cheesecake craving once a week, and turning the oven on for it always feels like too much. So I started blending cottage cheese with vanilla protein and Greek yogurt, and two minutes in the blender it goes silky. Pressed biscuit crumb at the bottom, berries on top, and it tastes like the real thing. Each cup carries 23 grams of protein for 350 calories, a healthy-gain dessert, never a diet compromise. Chill it two hours, grab a spoon, that's the whole job.
