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!
