This Lemon-Lime No-Bake Cheesecake is one of those desserts that your friends will beg you to make for every summer party. It’s a light and creamy blend of lemon and lime, packed with tons of nutrition – making it the healthiest cheesecake you’ve ever had (probably). It’s easy to make and a great way to sneak a little health into your party.
How is it the Healthiest Cheesecake?
That’s simple!
First of all, we’ve added our delicious Lemon-Lime LifeEssence™ Multivitamin powder. You might think that because it’s a multivitamin, that it’ll have kind of a grassy taste, but LifeEssence™ powder is made with whole-food nutrients and highlighted with natural fruit flavors. And because it contains of 7,400 mg of whole-food power, you’re getting a nutritional punch as good as any of our other whole-food multis.
This premium multivitamin powder contains SuperFoods, Superior Herbs, antioxidants, and phytochemicals to help boost immunity, natural energy, and cellular health!*
Secondly, this cheesecake would be nowhere without its no-bake aspect (what’s the point of a “No-Bake Cheesecake” if you have to bake it??). The reason there is no baking required is due to that special ingredient – beef gelatin. While this unfortunately means this cheesecake is not vegan or vegetarian, there is plenty to gain with this ingredient (not counting the no-bake aspect).
Beef gelatin is extremely beneficial to your gut and digestive health and can help you digest foods that you’re not used to eating. It also nourishes hair, skin, and nails, and offers support for joints, bones, and muscles!
