Mug cake

Got a sweet tooth??  Sometimes I go thru spurts of craving and down right obsessing over sweets.  Well, when this happens, I jump in the kitchen and start playing around with ingredients.  This is what I came up with

Ingredients:

1.5 tbls coconut flour

1 scoop of your favorite protein powder

1 egg + 1 egg white

1 tbls coconut oil

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 tbls almond or coconut milk

1/2 banana (you can omit if your watching sugar intake)

Splash of vanilla extract

Couple dashes of cinnamon

Instructions:

Throw it all in a coffee mug.  Smash and stir with a fork. Pop it in the microwave for 2 minutes.  That's it!!  

Get creative.... I added 1 tbls of pumpkin purée from a can and used vanilla cake protein powder. Another day I used chocolate powder and a tbls of almond butter. The possibilities are endless!!

Icing - two options here

1.  Mix a little water or almond milk to a little protein powder and drizzle on top

2. Put coconut milk (in a can) in the fridge overnight.  Remove the top fluffy goodness and whip with a little cinnamon & vanilla extract and drizzle on top. Save the rest for another cake or smoothie. 

For my kiddos I will add about 5 chocolate or peanut butter chips. 😊 Yes, I count the chips. 

Enjoy!!

Coffee smoothie

Since I've started eating clean, I've had to give up my morning cup of coffee because I can't stomach black coffee.  Yea, I was the girl who had a little coffee with her cream and sugar!!😜

Well now I'm super excited about my new creation and so is Jason!!

Super easy to make. 

Recipe for two:

2 cups of your favorite coffee, chilled

1/2 frozen banana 

2 scoops of cookies and cream protein

Splash of coconut/almond milk

Fill the blender with ice and a little water to get the amount of slushy you like. 

Pour in your favorite tumbler and enjoy!!
