Chocolate + Chocolate + Chocolate= deliciousness. Protein Brownie Bites. The best guilt free brownies that are healthy! 

Protein Brownie Bites. The best guilt free brownies that are healthy! #Sponsored #UseNectar @Truvia

Whoa! Stella and I survived hurricane Matthew! I didn’t get any damage to the house, but the fence and my shed had some minimal damage. I am very fortunate because it could have been so much worse. Currently we are out of power so I am typing this post from a friend’s house while watching football.

The last time a hurricane hit so close to home was 2004. This was actually my senior year of high school which I had to restart twice because we were hit back to back to back by 3 hurricanes. This was a completely different experience because now I am a homeowner. Always as a kids I was so excited for a hurricane to come because that meant no school for like a week or so but now as a homeowner I’m yelling at the TV for the hurricane to go away.

I never knew how much stress my parents went through trying to get the house hurricane proof until I had to do it myself this past week. Hanging up shutter while trying not to cut yourself–check, trying to find gas for your car and generator—check, canned food and bottled water—check. Wine. Wine. Wine. Did I miss anything?

Yep, chocolate. Lots of chocolate. I actually made these protein brownie bites during the after math of the hurricane while I didn’t have power. I hooked my mini food processor up to the generator and away I went. I was able to take some pictures with natural light but then the rest I had to take with artificial light because the power went out again after I had put away the generator and I was too lazy to hook everything back up LOL.

These protein brownie bites have a special ingredient…Truvia Nectar. It has 50% fewer calories than sugar and tastes just as good! I used it in this recipe as well as on top of my oatmeal and it tastes amazing! You can use it in place of sugar, honey or agave!

I’ve teamed up with Truvia to let you try Truvia Nectar for FREE!
