SIMPLE Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe… With Protein?!

Craving a sweet treat but still want to hit your protein? This chocolate lava protein mug cake is my go-to when I want something warm, gooey and satisfying without a sugar crash. It takes a few minutes to make and uses clean ingredients and actually tastes like dessert. The key ingredient is @transparentlabs whey protein isolate. It blends super smoothly, no chalky texture, no weird aftertaste, and it keeps the cake soft and fluffy while adding high quality protein. Protein Chocolate Lava Mug Cake Ingredients: 1 scoop Transparent Labs Vanilla or chocolate whey isolate 2 tbsp plain or vanilla Greek yogurt 1 tbsp egg whites (or ½ egg) 1 tbsp cocoa powder ½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp vanilla extract Pinch of salt (do not skip) 2-3 tsp milk or water 1 square dark chocolate (70-85%) for the lava center 1-2 tsp maple syrup / honey How to make it (this matters) 1.Mix everything except the chocolate square until very smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable, like brownie batter. 2.Pour into a mug. Push the chocolate square into the center, fully covered. 3.Microwave 40 seconds. 4.If edges are set and middle is soft → stop. If still very wet, add 10 seconds max. 5.Let rest 1 full minute (lava moment happens here). 6.Top with whip cream and berries and enjoy! Send to your sweet tooth buddy today
