Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries Adds natural sweetness and flavor; can be replaced with other berries.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Ensure they are gluten-free if necessary.
  • 1/2 cup Almond Flour Can substitute with any nut flour or gluten-free flour if needed.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Honey or agave can be used as alternatives.
  • 3 tablespoons Coconut Oil Melted butter can also be used.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces Light Cream Cheese Vegan cream cheese works for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder Can use whey or plant-based powder, adjusting liquid as needed.
  • 1/2 cup Plain Non-Fat Greek Yogurt Substitute with coconut yogurt for a vegan option.
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sweetener Adjust the quantity to taste; regular sugar can be used if not on a low-carb diet.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of frozen blueberries with 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the blueberries are softened and bursting; mash them to your desired consistency. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds, then remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, and 3 tablespoons of melted coconut oil with a pinch of salt. Mix until the ingredients resemble wet sand, holding together when squeezed. Press this mixture into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper, and place it in the freezer.
  3. Using a mixer, beat 8 ounces of light cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup of plain non-fat Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of powdered sweetener, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Blend until just combined.
  4. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust. Dollop the cooled blueberry swirl on top and swirl together using a knife or toothpick.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours to allow them to set. For quicker results, freeze for about 1 hour. Once set, cut into bite-sized pieces.
