Whey Better Cookie Co. announced the expansion of its dessert line with mini protein cheesecakes that have 13 grams of whey protein. These cupcake-sized treats are a better-for-you alternative to conventional cheesecakes and they share 300 calories and nine grams of sugar each.
These miniature protein cheesecakes are available in flavors like peppermint stick, blueberry, cherry and lemon, as well as other sweet varieties like caramel and hot chocolate, any of which can be enjoyed over the holiday season. These bite-sized indulgences were created as festive treats for the holidays and as baker and owner of Whey Better Cookie Co. Keri Hayes says, “Our goal is to make delicious tasting desserts and leave out a lot of the guilt. Our desserts will fill you up and keep you satisfied.”
