Single Serving Protein Chocolate Mug Cake

Warm, rich, indulgent chocolate cake… everyday? YEEES. Okay, I am all about living a healthy lifestyle, I love feeling great, performing well in the gym, sleeping well, and just living life. I am also a HUGE fan of living a healthy lifestyle while still doing the things you love. Well, I love sweets! I love warm chocolate cake with a bit of ice cream. So here we are, I am just over here living my best life, eating chocolate cake everyday and feeling really good about it.

I loaded this single serving cake up with chocolate protein powder using Active Stacks protein. I find the flavor to be the best of all the protein powders I have tried, but experiment with what you already have. Also, kodiak cakes are so great, they are high in protein, fiber, and taste good. I added a little sweetness with xylitol. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol, it is a natural sugar alcohol found in plants. It doesn’t absorb in our intestines therefore, the body absorbs minimal calories from it. It is the sweetener that most sugar-free gum, toothpaste, and cough drops contain. It’s best to keep consumption of sugar alcohols low, too much on a daily basis can cause temporary GI discomfort. However, in moderation, xylitol is a great option for adding a bit of sweetness.

I like to microwave the cake just until it’s almost done, where there is a little bit of a fudge center. But you do you. Lastly, top it with 1/4 cup of slow churn vanilla ice cream, your soul will sing!
