Ingredients:

  • 1 scoop Nuzest Vibrant Insides
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1-2 tsps sweetener (monk fruit sugar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1–2 tbsps milk of choice
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

  1. Mix protein powder, baking powder, cocoa powder, and sweetener in a microwave-safe mug. 
  2. Stir in the egg until smooth, then add a little milk to thin the batter if needed. Fold in chocolate chips if using. 
  3. Microwave for 30–40 seconds, adding 5 seconds at a time until fluffy.
