High Protein Cheesecake
I tried this one yrs ago and liked it very much.
- 4 pkgs (8 oz.) of Philidelphia Fat Free Cream Cheese
- 1 1/2 Cups Splenda
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 5 egg whites
- 2 sccops ON 100% Whey, Vanilla
- 1 Pie Crust (I used a premade graham cracker crust)
*OPTIONAL*
- Strawberries
- Sugar Free Syrup
- Fat Free Cool Whip
Blend the cream cheese, splenda, vanilla, and whey in a big bowl. Add the egg whites one at a time, and continue mixing until you have used all the whites. Pour your mix into the pie crust (i had extra, just store any left over mix into a container and stick it in fridge), and bake at 325 for 55min. Place cake into the fridge to cool for 4 hours. For some extra flavor, take a handful of strawberries, quarter them, and place them in a bowl. Spread sugar free syrup (or just sprinkle some splenda) over the berries. Add the strawberries with a scoop of cool whip as a topping for one tasty piece of pie!
Of course, like any recipe, these ingredients are by no means set in stone. Play around with the amount of whey for a desired protein/carb ratio. You can also remove the crust all together if you have the appropriate non-stick pan (i made this as a semi-cheat meal, hence the graham cracker crust).
I broke down the macros, based on how I made it. This is actually an ideal meal, whether cutting or bulking.
The total batch contains:
1934 Calories
238.5g Protein
148 g Carbohydrate (26g Fiber; 10.5g Sugar)
34.5g Fat
If divided into 6 portions, each portion would contain:
332 Calories
39.8g Protein
30.6g Carbs
5.75g Fat
You can also make the crust with 6.5 servings (3.5 cups)) of oatmeal, 3 eggs, and 1/2cup of Splenda. Im trying this next time, I think I'll add a few servings of almonds to the oats when I'm grinding them up. That should taste great and add some healthy fats and additional fiber.
