Protein First: No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake – T Nation Content – COMMUNITY

Low-Carb, High Protein Dessert

The protein leverage effect makes it easy to lose fat and keep it off. It’s simple: if your protein intake is too low, your body “asks” for more by making you hungry. For most people, this protein threshold is roughly 100 to 135 grams daily.

Protein leverage is a powerful part of what we call “protein-first” eating. Eat a protein-centric diet, and your body composition goals will be much easier to hit and maintain. And you don’t have to live off of batch-prepped, reheated chicken breasts. Use MD Protein to whip up protein-packed desserts like this.

This lowish-carb cheesecake is packed with 30 grams of protein per tiny slice with no added sugar. No oven required either. Very filling.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Finely chop or food-process the nuts. Layer evenly into the bottom of a 6-inch springform pan. This is your crust.

2. Boil two-thirds cups of water, add gelatin, and stir until dissolved. Add to blender pitcher.

3. Add the MD Protein (on Amazon) and all other ingredients (minus the chocolate pieces) to the blender and pulse.

4. Pour the mixture into the springform pan.

5. Chop or slice the baking chocolate and sprinkle over the top or throughout the mixture.

6. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours to let it set.

No springform pan? Just use any pie dish. This even works divided into coffee cups since there’s no baking required.

I appreciate T Nation effort to provide some healthy dessert recipes, however, my wife and I agree having made the cheesecake type desserts including cookies as presented have been extremely disappointing.
