A single serving dessert that packs a punch. These protein mug cake recipes not only help you bust through cravings but bump up your protein intake as well. Naturally dairy-free and gluten-free each recipe has over 10 grams of protein per serving.
More often than not I see people stuck in a loop of wanting (and knowing) they should eat more protein but getting so sick of chicken and eggs that they quit and and binge on chocolate.
Recipes like protein mug cakes or baked protein donut recipes, or other single serving desserts like a single serve protein cookie, help curb that cycle because they give you all the indulgence but in a healthier way. Learn more about the benefits of a high protein diet and why you want to bump up.

Choosing A Protein Powder
The protein mug cake recipes use either a vegan protein powder or pure collagen powder.
You can learn more about how to choose a protein powder for your goals but know that many of them either use something like Botanica Protein or Orgain Protein powder because they blend the best. The kind you choose will affect both the flavor and the texture of the mug cake.
Collagen powder is my personal favorite to use as it’s such a clean source of protein and much healthier for your gut.
