Brownies Guilt Free!

My Delicious Protein Walnut Brownies

For those of you who have tasted these brownies you keep telling me they can't be good for me they taste to delicious! Well they are! They are packed with protein, good fats and a small amount of low GI carbohydrates and not dripping in trans fats and sugars like your store brought brownies. Enjoy in moderation guilt free, a great pre-post workout treat or a delicious snack when on the go. Remember all in moderation as they can get addictive for all you chocoholics out there! (can be made vegan friendly by removing eggs and adding in grape seed or olive/almond oil) YUMM!
