I love cheesecake mainly because of the combination of textures; the biscuit, nutty base and the creamy filling topped with a syrup. This is my healthy version which is also vegan. There is an option to not add the protein to the yogurt or to make it using low fat curd cheese. 

Course: Breakfast
Servings: 4
Calories: 258.34 kcal
Ingredients
  • 80 g quinoa flakes
  • 75 g Walnut halves
  • 80 g Chopped Dates, dried pitted
  • 20 g Apple Puree organic Biona
  • 100 g Blueberries for the topping
  • 8 tbsp Live yogurt for the topping
  • 40 g Protein powder
How to make
For the Base

  1. Toast the quinoa and Walnuts together in a frying pan, turning regularly to avoid the mixture burning. Toast the mixture for 5 minutes

  2. Place the toasted mixture in a Nutribullit along with the dates. Blitz the contents

  3. Remove the contents and place in a bowl. Add the Apple Puree and mix together to form a crumbly type consistency.  Divide this mixture into 4 suitable containers.

To Make the Filling

  1. In another bowl add the yogurt and protein powder, mix together. Divide this mixture between the four containers which already have the oats at the bottom. 

For the topping

  1. In a pan, add 100g of blueberry and a small amount of water and heat. The blueberries will soften as they warm through. Allow to cool and then pour on top of the yogurt mixture. 

  2. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
