Creating these delightful High Protein Healthy Strawberry Cheesecake Bites is simple. Follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all of your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
2. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
3. Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, incorporating them into the cheesecake mixture. Set aside a tablespoon for garnishing later.
4. Include Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats and protein powder (if using), mixing well until everything is well-blended.
