#7 Muscle Mug Cakes

When I am having a serious sweet tooth attack – this is the healthy dessert that seems to save me every time.

This protein powder mug cake only takes a mug and a few minutes to whip up.

It almost feels too good to be true.

This healthy, low-carb, and protein packed dessert truly tastes like real birthday cake without all of the extra added sugar.

• 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
• 1 Tablespoon low-carb sweetener (like Swerve)
• 1 Egg (Beaten)

• Your very favorite mug

NEXT, mix wet ingredients (egg, butter, sour cream/Greek Yogurt) together in the mug.

FINALLY, microwave for 90 seconds. Remove from microwave and let it cool for a few minutes.

Top with fun toppings of your choice including: fresh berries, protein powder, whipped cream, baking chips and more!

How to Make a Mug Cake in 90 Seconds

Depending on the protein powder that you choose to use, your muscle mug cake can literally be any yummy flavor that you want.

My absolute favorites are PEANUT BUTTER, SALTED CARAMEL and CHOCOLATE Protein Powder.

If you are in the mood for some extra chocolate flavoring, cocoa powder or cacao powder are always great additions.

And since Cacao is a bit healthier than Cocoa Powder, I often stick to adding Cacao Powder to my Protein Mug Cake.  

You can find my very favorite brand of Cacao Powder, Better Body Foods Organic Cacao Powder RIGHT HERE. 

I also love to top mine with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUM!

#8 Salted Caramel Macadamia Nut Butter

Which Protein Powder Should I Use?

You may have noticed that I didn’t list how much protein is found in each protein powder recipe above.

And that is because these recipes are versatile and you should feel free to use the protein powder that you love the most.

These high protein desserts and meal replacement recipes are delicious when they are made with flavored or unflavored protein powder, as well as whey protein powder, plant-based protein powder, or even vegan protein powder. 

You do you!

Why I Think QUEST is the BEST!

I, however, almost always use “QUEST” PROTEIN POWDER because it is my personal favorite.

And, if you read through most of these recipes, you obviously see that the Salted Caramel flavor is definitely my favorite protein powder and absolutely one of my VERY FAVORITE WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS.

I love Quest for so many reasons.

I think Quest has the best protein powders because they pack HUGE AMOUNTS OF PROTEIN per serving (like 26 grams of protein per scoop).

AND…

They’re LOW IN SUGAR and CARBS and they have a variety of flavors that taste delicious with absolutely no gross aftertaste.

I make sure I always have one of each flavor on hand so I can easily make any protein powder recipe whenever I want.
