Low Carb Chocolate Protein Mug Cake

Ingredients

Makes 1 Serving

1 scoop chocolate casein or whey protein powder

1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder 

1 tsp sweetener 

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 egg white

2 tbsp milk (skimmed, almond etc) 

And a little water to thin down

1: Mix all the dry ingredients in a mug with a fork until well blended and there are no clumps.

2: Add in the egg white and milk and mix until smooth.

3: Drop in any extras for the Middle at this point if you like!

4: Microwave for around 1 minute on high (give or take some time depending on your microwave), but watch it! It will start to bubble over the top. If this happens, stop microwaving, press batter back into mug with fork, and continue microwaving.

5: When finished, the cake should be cooked but still very moist. It's okay if not all the batter has cooked.

6. I love covering my chocolate mug cake in my vanilla cream cheese frosting! The whole cake pictured comes in at only 193 calories and contains 34g of protein! My frosting recipe can be found here Vanilla Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe.

Macros for whole cake if using casein; 134 calories, 1.6g fat, 0.8g sat fat, 7.6g carbs, 1g protein.

If using whey it has less carbs -5g and more protein +5g.
