Gluten Free + Low Calorie + Low Carb + Paleo
Welcome to February! This year is already zipping by. How are you guys doing with your health goals. I made myself a custom what to eat meal plan last week because I didn’t want to have to think about what I should be eating anymore. It’s much easier when you have a template to follow that tells you what to eat, and I have to say I love that I can go into the online portal and schedule the meals around my schedule. On this week’s plan? Single Serve High Protein Brownies!
It’s confession time. I like chocolate. Well, not as much as my father apparently. Over the holidays when my parents were visiting, the guy left a few of those single serve M&M’s on the counter for me, and they disappeared in a few hours. But I didn’t eat them. Honestly, I didn’t need to eat them.
I assumed my mother was the culprit. She likes to eat my cookies. 🙂 So, when the guy and I jokingly told her at dinner one night she ate my M&M’s she was confused and claimed she didn’t do it. Then we turned around and my Dad’s waving from the couch. That’s his way of saying he did it. Ah, the M&M thief fessed up!
So I guess I inherited my chocolate cravings from him. As I’ve become more aware of my body and my cycle though, I’ve noticed this happens usually before my period. Something I never knew until I went off the pill a few months ago. Lots to tell you about on that topic, but I’ll save that for another post!
Because I don’t want to go overboard during that almost time of the month, I’ve been making these Single Serve High Protein Brownies. The recipe makes four, so I’ll make them at one time then cook and eat one of them and save the others uncooked in the refrigerator until I’m ready to eat them. They make the perfect late afternoon or after dinner snacks. Much easier than making a batch of brownies and trying not to eat them all. You feel me?
Make sure to take me on Instagram, if you make these Single Serve High Protein Brownies. I love seeing your guys creations and I know you’re gonna love this easy peasy recipe.
