Easy Banana Protein Mug Cake

An easy, quick fill-you-up snack packed with protein!

I feel like I’m at the grocery store all the time. To be honest though; most of the time it’s just to get more zucchini, sweet potatoes and bananas. I’m bananas for all three.

Btw, completely off topic: have you ever tried Chick fil A’s spicy southwest chicken salad? I’m obsessed. With all the possible toppings it’s 420 calories (plus dressing.) I’m not a huge fan of all the extras, so mine comes out to just around 300 calories + 80 calories for the dressing. And I always toss in roasted sweet potatoes. Not too shabby for getting 34g of protein.

If you know me, once I get hooked on something, it’s all I want. For days. And dayz. Chick fil A I’ll keep ya in business.

OK back to what you are really here for.

This mug cake.

A way to keep myself on track is quick and easy snacks that fill me up. Whether it’s before/after my workout or in the middle of the work day. I need something with substance to keep me going.

I’ll bet that most of you have all the ingredients in your kitchen.

Three simple steps to heaven:

  1. Pour ingredients into large mug.
  2. Mix ingredients.
  3. Microwave.

It is that simple and so satisfying. I typically eat this a few hours before my workout or when I need to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Just look at this.
