These are a lovely, cheesecakey way to start your day. Enjoy a couple for breakfast with coffee . . . mmm, perfection! The whey protein is completely optional since you already have a nice amount of protein in your Greek yogurt and gelatin, but it adds a nice little extra. Feel free to use the option of strawberry whey protein for a berry twist in your cheesecake breakfast. This recipe will make 12 mini cheesecakes and can be found in the “Blood Sugar–Balancing Breakfasts” section, page 334 of Trim Healthy Table.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Put the gelatin in a mug, pour the cool water over, and stir until dissolved. Add the boiled water and stir. Pour this into a blender.
-
Add the cream cheese, yogurt, lemon juice, and sweetener. Blend well. Finally, if using the whey protein, add it and blend for just 10 more seconds. Stir in the berries (if using).
-
Line 12 cups of a muffin tin with cupcake liners (parchment kind work best). Fill the cups with the cheesecake mixture. Place in the fridge and let set for 3 to 4 hours. Or put into 4-ounce mini jars if you want a grab-and-go option.
