Skinny Triple Chocolate Brownies

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of AllWhites Egg Whites for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

We’ve been on a bit of a journey to a healthier lifestyle around here.  Not that ours was horrible, but we like to take the New Year as an opportunity to jump start some changes.  My husband is doing a 30 day sugar fast, which is HUGE for him because he has a mad sweet tooth.

I’ve been watching calories, making healthy switches and drinking a million ounces of water.  We also joined a gym, so we’ve been moving more, too.  I found a really great accountability group and joined that.  (More on that soon!)  I’ve lost 7 pounds so far and I feel so much better!  YAY!

So, part of watching my calories and making healthy switches involves actually knowing what is in my food.  I went to friend’s shower last week.  Now, I LOVE SHOWER FOOD!  So, I knew I had to do some planning.  I decided to bring these Skinny Triple Chocolate Brownies.  They are so rich and decadent, I didn’t even want the other sweets.

I was able to reduce the fat content by using applesauce and AllWhites Egg Whites.  I can assure you that I didn’t loose any of the rich chocolatey goodness by making these easy switches.  These babies are so good.  So fudge-y, and not too sweet.  The perfect brownie.
