We all need protein to build muscle and maintain our overall health. And, believe it or not, your favorite sweet treats may come with a surprising amount of this important nutrient.
Sometimes, dessert is just dessert. But if you do want to opt for higher-protein treats, look for those that naturally contain more protein or those that can be easily made more protein-rich by adding or substituting in nutritious ingredients. As a bonus, that may make them feel more filling and help you stick to a healthy portion size, experts say.
A smart choice at the dessert table? Cheesecake. This treat inherently has more protein, with around 7 grams per serving. (It can also be made with some Greek yogurt or cottage cheese blended in for an even bigger protein boost!)
