Low Fat Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

The combination of lemon and blueberries might just be my favorite combination EVER. While I am not a huge cheesecake fan, these low fat lemon blueberry cheesecake bars are seriously SO good. I have made it with both a graham cracker crumb crust and a nilla wafer crust and both are delicious!
