Mug cake supreme

We all get those before bed cravings that set our sweet tooth through the roof. It's like, I could eat 47 cookies right now or I could be good and just go to bed hungry.
Neither of those sound healthy to me. If you're hungry, you're hungry (as long as you aren't mistaking hunger for thirst... then you're golden pony boy).

is that chocolate sauce lady?

You bet your buttons. This is a loaded cake that I came up with the other night when I was under my macros and was literally starving. Also how I know my metabolism is on fire (thanks Coach). So here's what I did...
Picture
You really don't need much at all, in fact you probably have all of these ingredients in your cupboard right now.

THE CAKE
  • 3/4 scoop of Magnum Quattro - Chocolate Peanut Butter Addiction
  • 2 tbsp egg whites
  • 1/2 tbsp stevia
  • dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Arrowroot Powder (used as a baking powder alternative)
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
Mix all ingredients well and microwave in a mug for about 40-45 seconds. Take it out (will be a little saucey, this is a good thing so it's not dry! Egg whites are HARMLESS) and put it in a bowl to cool for about a minute

THE SAUCE (I use this same chocolate sauce for basically everything)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp cacao powder
  • 1/2 tbsp stevia (give/take, depending on sweetness preference)
Melt the coconut oil and stevia TOGETHER and mix well, and add cacao powder last. Drizzle on top of cake and top with shredded coconut (optional). 

The beauty of this little mixture is that you can essentially use any flavour of protein powder, although different brands may alter the way the cake cooks. I personally prefer Magnum for my baking because it's LACTOSE and GLUTEN free. Yes it still contains dairy, but processed the same way that lactose-free yogurt is. So it's super easy on your stomach! Since my diet is completely gluten-free, I personally have to be so careful with protein powders. They may seem harmless, but a lot of them have hidden ingredients in them, which do contain wheat. Do your research, and find what is best for you!
