Remove from heat and let cool before using.
Prepare the crust: Crush the graham crackers or wafers in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a jar.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Add Greek yogurt and beat again.Gradually add the protein powder and unflavored collagen, mixing until combined.
