Premier Protein® Red Velvet Mug Cake for Two
February 12, 2019This post is sponsored by Premier Protein®.
If you love Red Velvet cake, you’re not alone! Unfortunately, the decadent layers of chocolate cake and cream cheese frosting can take over an hour to make and is not a very bariatric friendly option. We have solved that problem with a quick and easy mug cake that is high in protein, low in sugar, and still tastes great!
This Premier Protein® Red Velvet Mug Cake for Two is a more nutritionally friendly version and only takes 3 minutes to make. By utilizing the Chocolate PREMIER PROTEIN® 100% Whey Protein Powder as a main ingredient, you’ll get a rich chocolate flavor with a fraction of the calories.
Making single-serving mug cakes versus an entire layered cake is a fantastic way to help with portion-control by avoiding the temptations of leftovers. With Valentine’s Day coming up, this is a great recipe to share with that special someone!
