CHEESECAKE
• Four 8 oz blocks cream cheese, softened

• Pinch of salt

METHOD
1. Mix crust ingredients and press into a parchment lined 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes.

4. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream (or yogurt & heavy cream), cornstarch, vanilla, and salt. Add eggs, mixing one at a time.

6. Place in a water bath and bake at 325°F until the center is just set and the top is golden (about 85-90 minutes).
7. Cool completely and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing.

BANANA PUDDING INSPIRED CHIA PUDDING🍌

If you’re looking for an easy breakfast meal prep that actually keeps you full, this banana pudding chia pudding is packed with protein, fiber, and tastes like dessert.

Chia pudding base↓
(Makes 4-5 servings)
• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 cups milk
• 4 scoops vanilla protein powder (I love Equip Foods)
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• pinch of salt

Layered Toppings↓
•Greek yogurt (I like whole milk for nutrients & creaminess)
•banana slices
•crushed vanilla wafers or graham crackers (I used Simple Mills lemon sweet thins)

Mix everything together & refrigerate. I blended my bananas with milk to make it easier to mix but you can just mash the bananas! Stir again after about an hour so the chia seeds don’t clump. I recommend letting it sit in the fridge overnight to thicken. Take out & layer the chia pudding with Greek yogurt, then top with banana slices and crushed graham crackers when ready to enjoy!

Save this recipe for your next breakfast prep!
