Red Velvet Cupcakes

This is also another recipe from Medi Weight, my dietary clinic. These turned out to be incredibly taste, especially the frosting, which shocked the hell out of me! It was thick and creamy, and...tasted just like original frosting. But keep in mind, this is NO SUGAR ;)

Cheesecake Brownies

Yummy, healthy treats - GLUTEN FREE, SUGAR FREE, and ONLY 60 calories! You wouldn't believe how delicious these turn out to be. I'm personally not a fan of brownies in general, unless it's with vanilla ice cream ;) but these, I actually prefer! Oh, the irony. Very simple to make, also! 

Medi Weight is the dietary clinic I go, too, for my low-carb diet. Just want to point out that this diet DOES WORK, and I know this from experience (I lost 20 pounds). Anyhow, this is a recipe from them, so it does feature their specific protein powder, but I'm positive any chocolate protein powder will suffice!
