Tomorrow is America’s 250th birthday and we couldn’t let it come and go without sharing a new protein packed favorite in our house, becasue what’s more American than Cherry Pie…maybe adding protein to it – lol.
A Protein-full Spin on Cherry Pie
I have a sweet tooth. I was craving cherry cheesecake, you know the kind from the box that was popular in the late 80’s. So instead of giving into my craving I came up with this treat.
Ingredients:
- 1 serving of Sugar free cherry pie filling
- 1 scoop/serving of All Natural Vanilla Whey
- 200 grams of Fat Free Greek Yogurt
- 1 sheet of graham crackers (optional)
Directions:
- Add yogurt to your bowl.
- Add Whey and just a little bit of water and mix thoroughly.
- Top with cherry pie filling.
- Add 1 sheet of graham crackers (optional). You can crumble them on top of push them into the yogurt for a softer texture.
This low fat meal or treat (I had it for dinner last night) has 355 calories and 46 grams of protein. I hope you enjoy it!
If you are interested in food history you might like knowing that the first cherry pie ever recorded was for Queen Elizabeth I and brought to America by the English.
