There is nothing that I love more than a well earned steak! After the week I've had I most definitely deserve this one.
This roasted veg salad worked really well with the steak  and makes this dinner recipe perfect for anyone who is watching their calorie intake. Even so this could also be accompanied with a side of sweet potato fries for those who are looking for something a little more filling.

After the last cheesecake I made was a huge success withe the family, I just had to make another one. This time a lemon and cherry bakewell delight!

Using The Protein Ball Co. Cherry Bakewell balls for the base and a mixture of low fat cream cheese, lemon meringue whey protein powder from Bulkpowders (highly recommend btw) and ground chia seeds for the filling, this dessert is super simple to make and requires NO BAKING!

This recipe produces  one  4.5 inch cheesecake but you could double the recipe to make a bigger cake.

This cheesecake serves 3 people

Ingredients

  • 1 pack of The Protein Ball Co. cherry bakewell balls which are currently £1 in Tesco so there is no excuse really not to give this a go (offer expires on 26th Feb so better be quick)
  • 2 tsp ground chia seeds
  • 1 scoop of Bulk Powders whey protein
  • 3-4 tbsp of low fat cream cheese

Picture

Method

​1. Oil the bottom of the spring-form tin with a thin layer of butter/ coconut oil.

2. Press all 6 of the cherry bakewell balls into the bottom of the spring-form pan, flattening them to create the base for the cheesecake. Make sure there are no gaps that could allow the filling to drip through.

3. In a separate bowl mix together the cream cheese and the protein powder until well combined. Then fold in the ground chia seeds.
​
4. Pour mixture on top of the protein ball base and shake to even out sides. Place in fridge to set for 2-3 hours.

5. Add toppings and serve ( would be ace with cherry syrup but unfortunately I didn't have any)

High Protein Chocolate Cheesecake - No Protein powder needed

I made this recipe for my Mum's birthday on Wednesday and it has got the approval of the whole family! 
Not too sweet and the base is lovely and crumbly. If you have a huge sweet tooth you can add more sweetener to your preferred taste. This keeps really well in the fridge as the gelatin holds the "cheese" layer together. Haven't tried freezing it yet... I doubt it will last that long.

The Macros per 8th of cake are pretty decent too:
Calories - 215kcal
Carbs - 27g
Sugars - 13g

Protein - 10g

Sometimes the store bought ones are just that bit too expensive, especially when its coming to the end of the month and you are due a pay check.
These bad boys work out to around £0.60 per bar and can last for around 7-10 days in the fridge!

Recipe Below!

EASIEST PROTEIN BARS MADE IN 5 MINUTES 🔝

INGREDIENTS
1. Whey protein I used Idealfit UK whey protein in chocolate mint flavour.
2. Nut butter of choice 
3. Milk
(Coconut oil if the mixture is a bit too thick)

METHOD
Add 2-3 scoops of whey into a bowl 
Add the 2 tbs of nut butter and mix well
Splash in some milk until the mixture becomes thick, a little crumbly and sticky.
(if it's still too thick add a dollop of coconut oil)
Transfer mixture to parchment paper and roll out until you reach the bars desired thickness.
Place in fridge for an hour then cut into bars.

(These bars should be kept in the fridge until day of consumption)

All measurements are rough and the quantity of each ingredient changes until desired consistency is reached.
