Nate's Healthy Breakfast Cheesecake

This cheesecake is essentially fat-free! And guess what? It tastes exactly like (or in my opinion better than) regular cheesecake. Full of protein, this is an excellent choice for breakfast, snacks, or dessert if you are looking to stay lean (and in some cases, mean). Any fruit, chocolate, etc., can be added if you'd like!
