Most people get candy, chocolates, balloons, roses and what not for valentines day....and I get a magic bullet. My reaction was one for the books let me tell you. BUT its the thought that counts and I may actually be able to put this gift to good use somehow! Happy Valentines Day everyone I hope you are all enjoying it!! :)
Here's a little recipe for a healthy Valentines Day treat incase your spending it alone..PUT DOWN THE CHOCOLATES and make this instead :)
This is my Valentines Day Mug Cake. Why mug cake? Because you mix the ingredients together in a coffee mug and eat it straight out of there. So here ya go!
- 1 scoop protein powder (comes in a lot of flavors, I use vanilla)
- 3-5 tbs egg whites (enough to make a thick batter, it should look like brownie batter almost)
- 1 tbs plain or vanilla greek yogurt
- 1 tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
- a splash of unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tbs stevia
Thats it! Mix those ingredients into a thick batter, pour it into a mug and stick it in the microwave for about 45 seconds. It will puff up so make sure it doesn't overflow! If it does just stop the microwave and continue cooking in 10-15 second intervals. It should be slightly firm on the outsides but gooey on the inside. Put a little unsweetened vanilla almond milk and Walden Farms Calorie Free Chocolate Syrup and its a done deal. Guilt free and packed with protein. I'll have pictures and the nutrition facts posted up a little later but depending on what protein powder you use, its going to be around 160-180 calories and about 25-35 grams of protein and very low carb. Boom. Mug Cake in a nutshell. Don't hate until you try it I promise its delicious!!
