Protein Mug cake

Since we have an enormous amount of protein  stocked up, it's fun to come up with ways to use it other than in shakes. Last time the "cheese cake" was a big success, now we're making a mug cake that will take you no more than 3 minutes.

Ingredients:
The mug cake in this picture was made with Iso-Smooth
& added cocoa powder

2 eggs
1 tbsp of coconut flour (or other type of flour)
1 serving of protein powder of your choice (about 35 grams)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup of cold water

Whisk the eggs in a bowl, then add in the flour, protein powder and baking powder. Mix again and then start adding in the water, while you keep mixing. It should form quite a liquidy substance, otherwise add a bit more water.

Pour it into a microwave safe bowl of mug, and zap for about 2 mins or until set. Keep checking ever now and then to make sure it's not overcooking.

No-bake Lemon Protein Cheese Cake

This no-bake recipe for a lemon protein cheese cake is so simple, you'll find it hard to believe it would even taste good. AND on top of that, have the most awesome macros per serving.


For the filling

400 grams of yogurt (we used soy)
80 grams of lemon protein powder *
8-10 grams of gelatin
1/2 cup of warm water

* If you can't find lemon protein powder, you can also mix up a vanilla protein powder with a packet of lemon pudding mix. A bit of lemon juice does the trick too.
Otherwise, just use a different flavor altogether. The options are endless.

Blend the yogurt and protein powder together, using a hand mixer or blender.
Dissolve the gelatin in the warm (not hot!) water, and mix into the yogurt.
Line a plastic bowl (about 9 inch diameter) with plastic wrap.

For the base

30 grams of rolled oats
30 grams of oat flour (if you don't have oat flour, just grind up oats first)
40 grams of butter
1 tbsp xilytol (or other sweetener)
1 tbsp of lemon protein powder

Melt the butter, then add in the oats, protein powder and xylitol and mix into a crumbly consistency.
Line the bottom of the bowl with the oat mix, then pour the yogurt mix on top. Let this set in the fridge for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.

Cellucor Whey S' mores Review

After long anticipation and waiting we were finally able to try the
new flavor by Cellucor COR-Performance Whey: S'mores.

Cellucor is a big favorite, since their whey is of excellent quality, the ingredient list is short and the taste is phenomenal. The new flavor, along with Chocolate Raspberry Truffle and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, was released in May and sold out on their own website incredibly fast. 
Fortunately, Bodybuilding.com was the next one to stock it, so we ordered it right away.

When opening the tub, the smell took us a bit by surprise, not sure how to describe it, but it was a bit, different. Anyway, as soon as you take a closer look, you can see the bits of graham cracker and actual mini marshmallows in the powder, awesome!



These bits are crunchy and stay crunchy after mixing, giving it a nice texture in the shake.

The taste? Have to admit, Peanut butter Marshmallow has some serious competition here! 
It's creamy, tasty and the s'mores flavor is definitely present. All in all, Cellucor has really hit the spot with this one, 2 thumbs up!
