THE RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

Almond Crust:

• 2½ cups Chopped Almonds
• ¼ cup Brown Rice Flour (or flour of choice)
• ½ tsp Ground Cinnamon
• ¼ tsp Salt
• 1 tbs Coconut Oil

Cheesecake:

• 16oz Fat Free Cream Cheese (room temp)
• 16oz (2 cups) Plain, Nonfat Greek Yogurt
• 84g (¼ cup) Honey
• 24g (3 tbs) Arrowroot Starch
• 1 tsp Lemon Flavor
• 1 tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
• 64g (2 scoops) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder
• 1 tbs Lemon Juice

INSTRUCTIONS

For the Crust:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a brownie pan with tin foil.
2. In a blender or food processor, blend the almonds until it turns into a moist flour (the more you blend, the more the natural oils will come out and help bind the crust).
3. Add the brown rice flour, cinnamon, and salt and blend again. Transfer mixture to a bowl and mix in the coconut oil (I used my hands). Transfer to the pan and flatten. Bake for ~15 minutes. Let cool.

For the Cheesecake:

1. In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, add the cream cheese and yogurt. Whip on medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
