This is a great afternoon or after workout snack. When I'm in a hurry, I like to cut a serving up into small pieces and pour milk over it and eat like it's cereal. It tastes like an indulgence without going over my calorie budget.

You can freeze individual brownies for long-term storage. Make sure they're tightly sealed inside freezer-safe containers or bags.
Microwave each brownie for approximately 20-45 seconds. Put a damp towel over the brownie when re-heating to keep it moist.
