Chocolate-hazelnut Protein Cheesecake
What has been off-limits is now ready for the spotlight. This cheesecake is an indulgent mix of hazelnuts, chocolate, and graham crackers without the guilt! Think of it like your grandma’s recipe—but better.
These soft, cakelike cookies are the perfect way to hit your macros. Made with pumpkin, whole-grain oat flour, Greek yogurt, and protein powder, they use the season’s favorite spice to flavor your holiday treat, but without all the fat of a regular cookie.
Simple, fast, and full of flavor, these spicy ginger bars are the perfect comfort holiday treat: They skip the extra calories by using protein powder in place of regular flour, and utilize a higher-protein and -oat flour to boot.
