There are a few key ingredients that make this cheesecake recipe healthy. Firstly, we’ve swapped out traditional cream cheese for Greek yogurt and cottage cheese. These two ingredients add protein and calcium to the cake, making it a bit more nutrient-dense than your typical dessert.

Secondly, we’ve used honey in place of refined sugar. Honey is a natural sweetener that contains nutrients like vitamins and minerals. It’s also lower on the glycemic index than sugar, so it won’t cause your blood sugar to spike.
