Cookies n' Cream Protein Cheesecake

I made the most delicious cheesecake, would you believe me if I said it was low calorie, low fat and low carb?? 

Serves 8

Ingredients:

2 8oz tubs of fat free cream cheese (room temp!)

12oz fat free Greek yogurt

2 eggs

2 egg whites

2 scoops cookies n' cream whey protein

1/4 cup baking stevia

1 cookies n cream questbar

3 tbsp enjoy life chocolate chips

1.) Mix yogurt, cream cheese, eggs, egg whites, stevia and whey protein very well. An electric mixer or blender works best

2.) Pour into pie tin. Next chop up the questbar into cubes and scatter throughout the batter evenly. I pushed the pieces down with a knife so that there were submerged in the batter

3.) Bake at 250•F for 30 minutes and then 300•F for 45 minutes

4.) Once cheesecake is done, melt the chocolate chips and spread over the top. Enjoy!

Wink Frozen Desserts

Hey Fit Fam!

Jordan from Wink Frozen Desserts was kind enough to send me over some pints of their gluten free, dairy free, egg free, soy-free, vegan-friendly frozen treats! Wink is sweetened with stevia, so no need to worry about loads of sugar either! At only 100 calories for the entire pint, these desserts are very figure friendly as well! There are currently five flavors- cake batter, choco mint, cinnamon bun, cocoa dough and iced latte. 

                                                       

I sampled each flavor last night and while I do love them all, I decided that my favorites are cake batter and cinnamon bun! So light and similar to sorbet!

Protein O'z

I came across a protein cereal on IG called Protein O'z and placed an order right away! The nutrition profile is what captured my interest the most. Only 125 calories for 1 cup of cereal. Each serving includes 15g protein (25g if you eat with milk), 25g carbs, 5g fiber and only 2g of sugar! It's also made with whole grains.

Right now the only flavor available is chocolate, but there are other flavors in the works. 

The taste of the cereal reminded me of Cheerios with a hint of chocolate. Not too sweet at all. It's not as crunchy as I was expecting, but it's not a bad texture. I've only eaten it dry so far. 

Overall I really enjoy Protein O'z and you can't complain about the nutrition facts! This will def be a part of everyday diet! Check out their IG page and place an order at myproteincereal.com!

Product Review: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bare Butter

I've recently become a nut butter addict! Thanks to Instagram, I came across the product Bare Butter! I immediately knew that I needed to try this product! These nut butters are non-GMO, peanut free, egg free, soy free, gluten free and Paleo friendly and macro friendly! Bare Butters come in 3 flavors- chocolate chip cookie dough, brownie batter and cinnamon raisin. I ordered the sampler pack so I could try all 3. Today I will review the chocolate chip cookie dough. 

The sample pack comes with a cute 5 oz jar of each flavor.

The contents of the jar looks exactly like cookie dough! It has mini chocolate chips- exciting!

The flavor tastes amazing! The main ingredient of this flavor is cashews and macadamia nuts. I've never had a cashew/macadamia nut butter, but I think I like it even more than almond butter (which I love!). It's light and slightly salty, finished with a hint of chocolate. I'm looking forward to trying the other 2 flavors. Make sure to check back for my reviews on them!

Here are the nutrition facts and ingredients
