Low carb protein mug cake


Hello all you fit people! 

I want to share my protein mug cake recipe with you.  This is so fast and easy to make. Low in carbs, so you can actually fit it in anywhere during the day.  If you plan to have it post-workout, drizzle honey on top (as I did) 

Ingredients:
1 whole egg
15g coconut flour
200g fat free Yogurt
1 pinch baking soda
2 sachets stevia 
sprinkle of 100% chocolate chips
25g Metaput zerocarb protein 


Mix everything (except the chocolate chips) in a bowl.  Microwave for about 2-3 minutes.  Do not stir the mixture.  I like my centre soft and gooey, so you have the option of choosing how dry you want your mug cake.  When cooked, sprinkle the 100% chocolate chips. add a tablespoon of honey if taken post workout.  For those who do not know, 100% chocolate is great for muscle recovery. 

Have a great day!
