One of the most difficult parts of any fitness journey is changing your mindset around food. Cutting certain foods out and incorporating new ones into your diet can be challenging for many people, and that's okay! Here at AstroFlav, we want to help you along your fitness journey by providing you with delicious (and healthy) recipes that will keep you dedicated to your fitness journey while allowing you to enjoy what you eat.
Oh man... The protein cheesecake recipe you all have been waiting for! Salted Caramel Protein Cheesecake is on the Healthier You recipe this week and we are confident you are going to love this one! Topped off with crushed pretzels and dark chocolate chips, this cheesecake is definitely a must!
Oats - I blended my oats to make into flour. You can also use almond flour for a low-carb option.
Maple syrup - I used SF maple syrup, but you can also sub for regular maple syrup or honey.
Greek yogurt - Either non-fat Greek yogurt or regular for extra protein.
Cream cheese - I used 1/3 less fat cream cheese; fat free cream cheese will also work.
AstroFlav Peanut Butter Cake IsoMix - can use your favorite IsoMix of choice, but PB cake will give a caramel taste.
SF Jello Butterscotch pudding mix - not essential, but will bring the salted caramel taste all together.
Egg - Advised to keep room temperature.
PB powder - thickens the frosting and gives a peanut caramel taste.
Cheesecake pan
Hand-mixer or high-speed blender
Use a rubber spatula to flatten crust onto pan to avoid stickiness.
Use a hand-mixer to mix cheesecake filling to avoid clumps.
Keep an eye on the cheesecake as it bakes. The water bath beneath the tray will help the cheesecake rise without caving into the center.
Always use room temperature yogurt and cream cheese, as it will yield a creamier cheesecake.
The topping is completely optional. The cheesecake tastes just as good on its own!
Crust
100g oats (blended into flour)
1 egg white
1-2 TBS maple syrup
Cheesecake filling
250g fat free greek yogurt
200g reduced fat cream cheese

Sweetener to taste (I used Stevia)
Protein frosting

1/4 cup almond milk
Toppings:
Crushed pretzel
Crushed dark chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 320°F.
In a small bowl, mix blended oats, egg white, and maple syrup to create the crust.
Transfer mixture to a pan of choice and push down with hands or rubber spatula.
Blend or hand mix the filling ingredients until smooth and has no clumps.
Pour filling mixture over the crust and smooth top with a spoon or spatula.
Add a water bath (boiling water) in smaller pan and place at the bottom of the oven. Then bake cheesecake for 30 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 200°F and bake for another 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the refrigerator. Once cooled, remove and sprinkle crushed pretzel and chocolate chip crumbs on top. Enjoy!
