When you’re craving something sweet, it’s easy to reach for high-sugar options that leave you feeling sluggish. But what if you could have dessert without the sugar crash?

This Nutella Protein Mug Cake is the perfect winter treat; warm, rich, chocolatey, and made with a balance of protein, carbs, and healthy fats. You’ll get that indulgent flavour you love with a boost of protein to help keep you satisfied.

What You’ll Need

  • 30g Nutella

  • 1 x egg white

  • 15g chocolate whey protein powder

  • 0.5 tsp baking powder

  • 4g icing sugar

  • 40g raspberries

Method

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white and Nutella until smooth.

2. Add in the protein powder and baking powder, and mix until fully combined.

3. Pour the mixture into your favourite mug (make sure it’s microwave-safe).

4. Microwave for around 1 minute — the cake should rise and feel springy to the touch.

5. Serve warm with a dusting of icing sugar and fresh raspberries on top.
