Step-by-Step Instructions:

In 3 small bowls or jars, evenly divide and layer cheesecake mixture, graham cracker crumbs (20g/bowl), and berries as pictured.

Serve chilled!

Recipe Notes and Modifications:

No cottage cheese? Use Greek yogurt (0–2% fat) as a substitute—but the texture will be softer and slightly tangier.
If your cottage cheese is lumpy, blend it alone first before adding other ingredients for an ultra-smooth cheesecake base.
Add 1 tsp lemon juice and a little zest for a tangy cheesecake vibe.
I recommend the brand Pescience Select one for protein powder, for this recipe use the Vanilla Gourmet flavour!
