I love cheesecake, although I also love feeling good about what I put in my body. This dessert hits the spot, it’s cool creamy although, it is super easy to make! Most importantly, this Healthy Guilt-Free Greek Yogurt Cheesecake is loaded with healthy fats and protein. To top it off my kids think they are getting a special treat every time I make it! Many times, I have even served it to crowds and no one thinks they are eating healthy!
