Choc Chip Casein Mug Cake

This is my new favourite macro cap. It's so quick and simple, incredibly moist (sorry), chocolatey and PERFECT to end the day on. If your calories allow, it's great with peanut butter, low calorie chocolate sauce, ice-cream or fruit. But if all else fails and you're going lean, just enjoy it on its own... with almost 30g protein it's a totally guilt-free pud.

The secret ingredient is EFECTIV Double Chocolate Casein — a slow-release protein that's perfect for evening use. Read our Casein 101 guide to understand why casein is the go-to protein for overnight recovery.

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS

• 1 scoop (30g) Efectiv Double Chocolate Casein
• 0.5tsp baking powder

METHOD

1. Lightly grease the edges of your mug.
2. In a jug, whisk all the ingredients — aside from the chocolate chips — together until a thick batter is formed. Sprinkle on the chocolate chips and loosely fold in.
3. Transfer into the greased mug and microwave for 60 seconds. Pause, allowing the cake to deflate. Microwave for another 30 seconds, pause. Microwave for another 30 seconds, pause.
4. Top and eat straight from the mug, or turn over onto a plate if you're feeling fancy!
