Ingredients
Scale:

1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred sugar substitute)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
16 large fresh strawberries
Crushed nuts or granola (optional)
Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Additional erythritol for dusting (optional)

Instructions
Start by preparing the cheesecake filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use an electric mixer to blend them together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and protein powder to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the filling is fluffy.
Clean the strawberries by rinsing them under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully cut the tops off the strawberries and hollow out the centers.
Fill each hollowed strawberry with a generous amount of the cheesecake filling. You can use a piping bag or a spoon to help with the filling process.
Once filled, place the strawberries on a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, granola, or dark chocolate shavings on top.
Refrigerate the st￭ strawberries for at least 30 minutes to allow the cheesecake filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your delicious High-Protein Cheesecake St￭ Strawberries!
