Protein Cheesecake by Katie 

This recipe is SO GOOD!!! 

Ingredients: 

Two scoops of protein powder (I used Cellucor cookies and cream)

 two eggs

 two egg whites

 1.5 cups greek yogurt (I like Chobani 0 fat)

 1.5 cups stevia in the raw

 1 tsp natural vanilla extract

 2 8 oz packs of fat free cream cheese

 I topped mine with 1 tbsp of melted jiff whips maple peanut butter 

Directions:

Pre heat oven to 250 and grease your cake pan (I like using natural coconut oil or grape-seed oil cooking spray). 

Mix your ingredients well with a mixer if you have one (cream cheese is hard to mix in). 

Next pour mix into cake pan and bake for 30 minutes. After that raise the temp to 300 and cook for another 45 minutes.

Top with whatever your heart desires!  

Then let cool and place in the fridge for a few hours. 

That's all!!

This is one of my favorite recipes and it's perfect for the holidays! 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Chocolate Banana Bites by Katie

What You'll Need: 

1 large banana 

1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips 

1 tbsp all PB 

8 tooth picks 

What To Do:  

• Cut banana into 16 pieces 
• Spread PB between to make 8 bites 
• Melt dark chocolate for 45 seconds in the microwave and stir 
• Microwave for additional 10 seconds as needed 
• Put tooth picks in bites to hold banana pieces together and dip in dark chocolate 
• Place on plate and freeze for a few hours { or as long as you can wait ;) }
• And enjoy! 

Makes about 8 bites.  2 bites is about 145 calories. 

For those of you who don't know what PB is, it is a powdered form of peanut butter that at 85% less fat and is only 45 calories per serving.  It is a great alternative to regular peanut butter and tastes just as good! You can find it at Wal-Mart and most other grocery stores. 

I hope you enjoyed this recipe!
