Delicious and Nutritious: 3 Desserts You've Got To Try

Protein Rich Cheesecake

When compared to other cheesecakes, this one is pretty low in calories, and it's incredibly easy to make too! You can add in 2 scoops of protein to spike up the protein count or leave it like that, the eggs do just fine as well. I think this will become a new family favorite thanks to the crust!

Ingredients for cake crust:
Graham cracker crumbs - 3-4 sheets
Coconut oil - 2 tbsp.
Almond milk - 1 tbsp.
Maple syrup - 1 tbsp. (optional)
Ingredients for cake filling:
Cream cheese - 8 oz.

Tiramisu Protein Pancakes

Low on carbs, low on fat, but high on that protein! You can always add some protein powder for that extra spike if you feel you need it. Most of us don't get enough protein simply due to a lack of knowledge- did you know an adult should consume 0.36 grams of protein per pound? This means an average person weighing 180 Ibs should consume about 65 gr (2.2 oz.) of protein per day!

Starting the morning with a protein-rich meal is a great way to enjoy an energy surge and remain full well until lunchtime. 

Ingredients for pancakes:
Ground flaxseed - 8 tbsp. (alternative: 4 tbsp. psyllium husk)
Almond milk - 4 cups
Vanilla Extract - 2 tsp. (alternative: rum extract)
Flour - 2 cups
Cocoa powder - 4 tbsp.
Coffee - 1 tbsp.
Baking powder - 4 tsp.
Cooking spray - as needed
Ingredients for topping cream:
Yogurt - 3 cups (can be soy)
Honey - 2 tsp. (alternative: stevia)
Chocolate sauce - as needed (optional)
Strawberries - as needed (optional)
Protein Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Who said vegan cuisine has to be challenging or time-consuming? Challenge that notion with this pumpkin pudding recipe. Even if you're not a fan of pumpkin, this dessert is heavenly. And it is surprisingly healthy too - low in carbs, high in protein and in fiber, but most importantly- it's 100% dairy and gluten free.

Firm tofu - 16 oz. (drained)
Pumpkin puree - 2 cups
Almond milk - 1/4 cup
Almond butter - 2 tbsp.
