As a major chocoholic, when I’m offered the chance to try a chocolate product that is both tasty and good for you who am I to say no?!
Protein Mug Cake Mix from THE PROTEIN WORKS™ is a delicious, gooey dessert mix that you can whip up in seconds!
This indulgent pudding is high in protein and fibre, but contains less than 2g of fat per serving and only 15o calories.
No cooking skills are required, just add 1 scoop of the powder and 3/4 scoop of water, and mix to a paste. Then microwave for 30 seconds, and allow to rest for a further 30 seconds before eating.
It tastes rich and chocolatey without that chalkey taste you sometimes get from protein products. The quantities suggested also make the perfect portion size to give you a sweet hit without over-indulging!
MUG CAKE TOPPINGS
Try some of these suggestions to pimp your pud and create the ultimate guilt-free treat.
- Top with greek yoghurt, fresh berries and honey
- Chop up some banana and top with peanut butter
- Add fresh orange zest and chocolate chips to the mix for a fruity twist
- Sprinkle the top of the cake once cooked with sliced almonds or pistachios
- Mix in some coconut oil into the mix and top with sliced coconut for a heady chocolate coconut pudding
You can even make them in ramekins and serve as dessert at your next dinner party!
Or just cosy up on the sofa with a blanket and a cup of tea, and enjoy a little bit of “me-time” this winter. No room for sharing, a perfect one-person chocolatey portion.
