CHERRY CHEESECAKE PROTEIN PARFAITS

These Cherry Cheesecake Protein Parfaits are decadent bliss with every bite! Each one is layered with protein cheesecake, sugar free cherry pie filling, and low carb vanilla wafer. It tastes like a rich dessert but has 46 grams of protein per jar! It's also gluten free and macro friendly.

NOTES: We used Swerve confectioner's powdered sweetener which measures 1:1 like sugar. You can use any brand you like and sweeten it to taste. We also used sugar free vanilla wafers, but you can use regular vanilla wafers.
