Enjoy a single serving of high protein chocolate mug cake! It only takes 90 seconds to cook, and is packed with fiber and protein while that satisfying your sweet tooth cravings! This recipe uses coconut flour and protein powder so it is packed with healthy ingredients! This is a healthier alternative to regular chocolate desserts because it is high in fiber and protein which will keep your stomach feeling full and satisfied. It is also in a single serving so you do not accidentally over indulge when your chocolate cravings kick in!
Wheat flour has been stripped and removed of most of its nutrition and fiber due to the flour milling process that cleans the wheat grains, removes the bran, and is then refined and grounded. This means that when you eat all-purpose flour, the flour ends up in your stomach similar to a paste or glue with no added health benefits.
Coconut flour is a healthy alternative to wheat flour because it is gluten-free, low in carbs, high in vitamins and minerals, is packed with fiber, and provides medium-chain triglycerides, also known as MCTs. MCTs are plant based iron that is linked to weight loss along with increasing brain and heart health.
Knowing the great benefits of coconut flour, it is a no-brainer to try out this gluten free chocolate protein mug cake!
I will be using a vegan chocolate protein powder for my recipe, but you can also use whey protein powder.
Incorporating alternative ingredients that are dense in nutrition and fiber into your meals will aid in your overall health and provide you a healthy life style!
