This high protein, zero added sugar Brownie Mug Cake is PERFECT for chocolate lovers who are also looking to achieve a weight loss or wellness goal.
Tomorrow is Valentines Day which usually means a ton of sugary, chocolate-y treats.🍫🍫
If you’re working toward a weight loss or wellness goal, your Valentines Day treat can taste amazing AND help you feel amazing, too. No sugar hangovers, here!
Today, I’m sharing my high protein Chocolate Brownie Mug Cake. This mug cake has zero grams of added sugar and is packed with 26 grams of complete protein! You can whip this up as a dessert or make it as your Valentine’s Day break-fast. However, if opting for this as a break-fast, I recommend adding 1-2 Tbsp. of peanut or almond butter to the topping to ensure you get enough high quality fats to help keep you satiated throughout the day.
This recipe gets its sweet, chocolate-y flavor from my zero sugar Chocolate Protein Powder. My Pasture-Raised Chocolate Protein Powder is naturally lightly sweetened with 100% monk fruit extract, so you can enjoy a little sweet treat without the blood sugar roller coaster.
