Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. almond milk
- 1 scoop Brown Rice Protein
- 2 tbsp. coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp. baking powder
- Handful of blueberries
- Lemon zest
- Maple syrup or Sugar-Free Syrup
Method
- Add the milk, protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder to a microwave-safe mug and stir well with a fork until you get a smooth mixture.
- Once fully combined, sprinkle a handful of blueberries on top of the mixture and place into the microwave.
- Microwave for 90 seconds at 800 watts. Timing may vary according to your microwave, so we recommend keeping an eye on the mug cake throughout — it should rise, but if it starts to bubble over the rim of the mug then stop the microwave and let it stand for a few seconds.
- Remove from the microwave and let cool for at least 3-4 minutes before eating. Garnish with some lemon zest, and, if you’re feeling indulgent, why not try a drizzle of syrup too?
