Sugar Free Ricotta Cheesecake
While my besties came to visit me this past August, I brought a lot of ricotta. I decided to make a ricotta cheesecake but I didn’t have any lemon or lemon juice. My friend Samantha suggested I add a packet of Lemon LMNT and oh my goodness! This was the best dessert!
🍋 Benefits of Lemon LMNT
Electrolyte replenishment for performance, recovery, and everyday hydration
🧬 Core Formula Benefits (Applies to All LMNT Flavors)
Each stick contains:
-
Sodium – 1000 mg
-
Potassium – 200 mg
-
Magnesium – 60 mg
-
Zero sugar, zero artificial ingredients
🔥 Why Electrolytes Matter
When you’re keto, low-carb, fasting, or highly active, your body:
-
Excretes more sodium due to lowered insulin
-
Loses potassium and magnesium through sweat and urine
-
Needs electrolytes to prevent fatigue, cramping, headaches, and low performance
🍋 Specific Benefits of Lemon LMNT
1. Rapid Rehydration
-
High sodium content restores fluid balance faster than plain water
-
Perfect for post-workout, sauna sessions, or hot climates
2. Muscle Function & Recovery
-
Potassium and magnesium work together to:
-
Prevent cramps
-
Support muscle contraction and relaxation
-
Reduce post-exercise soreness
-
3. Energy & Mental Clarity
-
Electrolyte balance helps maintain:
-
Stable blood pressure
-
Nerve conduction
-
Cognitive focus during long work sessions or training
-
4. Supports Intermittent Fasting & Keto
-
Prevents the “keto flu” by replacing sodium lost from reduced carb intake
-
Helps sustain steady energy during extended fasts without breaking them
5. Refreshing Flavor = More Consistent Hydration
-
Lemon is crisp, tart, and not overly sweet, which encourages you to drink more water without sugar
-
Ideal for mixing into sparkling water for a hydrating “soda” alternative
🛠️ Pro Tips for Using Lemon LMNT
Goal | Timing | How to Use |
---|---|---|
Workout Performance | 30 min pre-workout | Mix 1 stick in cold water |
Fasting Support | Morning or mid-day | Sip slowly to avoid lightheadedness |
Heat/Sauna Recovery | Immediately after | Combine with extra 8–16 oz water |
Travel | Anytime | Prevent dehydration from flights |
Lemon LMNT delivers a potent, no-sugar electrolyte balance that supports hydration, performance, recovery, and mental clarity—and its bright citrus flavor makes it easy to maintain consistent electrolyte intake, especially on keto, fasting, or active days.
🔑 Electrolytes aren’t optional when you’re low-carb or training hard—they’re fuel for your cells.
It is unbelievable how perfect using LMNT works for a protein packed dessert!
It’s great having LMNT as a healthy option for people. I have been consulting clients for over 20 years now and in the past, I would get a lot of parents asking me what their kids can drink if I do not recommend Gatorade. Now I recommend LMNT! It is like Gatorade without the sugar or food dye and it works perfect to pack when traveling.

Sugar Free Ricotta Cheesecake
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 pounds ricotta cheese
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup powdered allulose
- 1 packet Lemon LMNT
OPTIONAL:
- 1 teaspoon stevia glycerite
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 inch springform pan or an 8 by 11 inch casserole dish. Place the springform pan on a large sheet pan.
- Strain the ricotta cheese and discard the liquid.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a blade, add the cheese, eggs, sweeteners, and lemon LMNT. Mix, starting on low and increasing to medium speed for 10 minutes. The mixture will look light and fluffy. If using a hand-mixer, keep the speed at medium.
- Pour the batter into the springform pan (or casserole dish) and give it a little shake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour if using a springform pan (if using a casserole dish, bake for 30 minutes or until set and just barely jiggly in the center). Turn the oven off; allow cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door closed for 1 hour more to prevent cracking.NOTE: tent with tinfoil if it starts to brown too much.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool. When the cake is fully chilled, you can remove the springform pan. Slice and serve!

TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
Anessa came on my Bali retreat, then a year later and 40 pounds lighter she came on my Thailand retreat, then 8 months later and another 30 pounds lighter she came on my Costa Rica retreat!
I usually buy the chocolate from LMNT. Don’t have the lemon mentioned in your recipe.
What can I substitute for the lemon LMNT?
Use a tablespoon or two of lemon juice 🙂
I’m not a big lemony baked goods fan, though I DO love Lemon Icebox Pie.
I might try this with Chocolate Caramel LMNT for a Salted Caramel flavor!!
Sounds delicious!
I’m waiting for my LMNT to come, what could I use instead ?
Use 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to taste. Add some salt too 🙂
