Chocolate Protein Mug Cake Recipe

Who says you can’t treat yourself while also working towards your goals? Cake has traditionally been one of those treats that is hard to avoid.

I am a firm believer in having things in moderation to avoid going crazy. Unfortunately, cake is a hard thing for me to have in moderation. Because of that, I have experimented and made an easy and much healthier single serving protein cake recipe. This cake can be made quickly in the microwave and also cooked in the oven.

The recipe replaces all the traditional sugars and flours used to make cake with higher quality ingredients and uses protein powder as its base.

This can be used as a treat or post workout snack. Either way it will curb any sweet tooth who has goals but also wants to enjoy the sweeter things in life while
