Tips & Substitutions
Soften the cream cheese first. Ten seconds in the microwave makes it stir in smooth.
Add a little lemon. ½ teaspoon of lemon juice brings out the cheesecake tang for almost no calories.
Graham cracker crumbs. 1 tablespoon on top (about 30 calories) works as the crust.
Frozen strawberries work too. Thaw and dice them first so the jar does not turn icy.
How to Make It More Filling
Add 1 more tablespoon of Greek yogurt for about 10 calories and a little more protein, or top the jar with 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds (about 50 calories) for crunch.
Storage
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Strawberries release juice, so the jar gets a pink swirl, which is normal. Stir before eating, and do not freeze.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fat free cream cheese?
Yes. It saves about 15 calories, though the jar tastes a bit less rich.
Can I use regular cream cheese?
Yes. One tablespoon adds about 20 calories more than the light kind.
Can I leave out the cream cheese?
You can. Use an extra tablespoon of yogurt and a squeeze of lemon, but the cheesecake taste will be lighter.
Do I have to dice the strawberries?
Small pieces release more juice and flavor the oats evenly. Slices work as a topping.
