Healthier Versions recipes for macronutrient restrictions. I share these recipes because I know what it's like to live with dietary restrictions. Because of this eating lifestyle I have been able to avoid being put on 4 medications, maintain a 17-pound weight loss, maintain a blood pressure range of the mid 120's to the low 130's, as well as maintain an a1c in the low 5's.

Today's recipe is Indulgent and Delicious. I got the sugar and carbs as low as I could to keep these qualities. They are also Gluten-Free. The Recipe and Healthy Highlights are as follows:
