Protein Rich Cheesecake

When compared to other cheesecakes, this one is pretty low in calories, and it's incredibly easy to make too! You can add in 2 scoops of protein to spike up the protein count or leave it like that, the eggs do just fine as well. I think this will become a new family favorite thanks to the crust!
