Smoothie Cheesecake Bars: Guest Post for That Skinny Chick Can Bake

I have been on such a cheesecake kick the last couple of weeks. I have eaten more cheesecake recently than I have in my whole life. I did these a couple of weeks ago for this guest post. It’s the first time I’ve dabbled in bars. The inspiration to do a bar came from the wonderful lady I am guest posting for today. None other than Lizzy from That Skinny Chick Can Bake. Lizzy makes the most delectable bars I’ve ever seen. One day when I perusing her site I realized I don’t really have any bars on mine. I have no idea why I don’t do them more often. I really do love them. So in honour of the lovely and talented Lizzy I decided to branch out and try my hand at bars.

I had to find a recipe as I was not quite sure what I was doing when it came to making bars. So I found these in an old Kraft Kitchens What’s Cooking Magazine. Remember they used to come for free in your newspaper. Remember the days where companies did things for free. Ah, the good old days. Anyhow, you can also find these on their website. I usually just wing my cheesecakes as almost all start out the same way then you add stuff in. It’s pretty easy peasy to make a no bake cheesecake. Honestly if cheesecake intimidates you I think this is the way to go. It was simple and easy to make. Sets up like a dream. Tastes like heaven.

You can use frozen berries like the recipe calls for. That is kind of nice to know in case you’re craving cheesecake and it’s not berry season. Honestly the frozen berries were fab in this. I don’t buy them frozen too often but this made me rethink that. They’d be perfect for a morning smoothie.

So now that you are drooling all over you laptops and mobile devices I’ll send you over to Lizzy’s blog to check out my guest post. Lizzy is an amazing blogging friend and I am so grateful to have this lady in my corner. She’s become a dear friend who I am determined to meet in person one day soon. She is kind and supportive, and beyond that she’s wicked talented. So stop by to say hi to her and check out my Smoothie Cheesecake Bars. You will love this one. I know I did. I must have eaten half the batch while I took photos. I had to lay down afterwards. Cheesecake induced nap. Always a good way to end the day.

Lizzy thank you so much for having me today. I blame you for the 10 pounds I gained! Girl, I need to know your secret. How does that chick stay so skinny and bake like that. It blows my mind.

Toodles and smoochies! xx
