Clean Eating (21 Day Fix Approved) Strawberry Cheesecake

Clean Eating & 21 Day Fix Approved 

Strawberry Cheesecake 

Justin & I just started and committed to the newest Beachbody program, Shift Shop! We are on Day 8 and are both absolutely loving it. However, this is the first program Justin has EVER stuck to the nutrition with me to a T, so he was beginning to struggle last week keeping his sweet tooth cravings under control. To keep him on track with our meal plan I decided to make some healthier dessert recipes to get him by.  I found this recipe shortly after and we both fell in LOVE.

So simple to make, all clean ingredients, and it looks and taste delicious. Clean eating or not the entire family will enjoy it. So try it, share it, and let me know what you think!

Serves: 6    Portion Fix Count (per slice): 1/2 Red , 1/4 Purple, 1 tsp 

Ingredients

2 cups low fat cottage cheese

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt

2 large egg

2 tablespoon sugar

3 tablespoons flour (see notes below on how to count this)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 lemon)

1/4 cup puree’d fresh strawberries

additional strawberries, raspberries and blueberries for serving.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9-inch springform pan.

2. Combine cottage cheese and yogurt in a blender and process until very smooth. 

3. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the puree’ and fruit, process until smooth and combined.

4. Pour into prepared pan. 

5. Drop small spoonfuls of strawberry puree’ in a circle, or randomly on the batter.

6. Using a skewer, toothpick, or butter knife, drag it through the spoonfuls of puree. I just went through once, but you can swirl to your hearts content to get a fun marbled look.

7. bake for 30 minutes, or until the top pulls away from the pan and looks smooth and solid.

8. Let cool completely before refrigerating for several hours or overnight.
