Mini cake with protein frosting! Made this today for my PWO meal and it was SO good!

Ingredients:
– cake mix of your choice (I used Betty Crocker gf cake mix)
– protein powder of your choice (I used Trutein red velvet cake)
– unsweetened almond milk
– Diet soda or water

I made my protein frosting ahead of time and kept it in the refrigerator until after my workout. Btw, if you haven’t tried Trutein’s new red velvet cake flavor, you are missing out! It is AMAZING.

1) Add a little water or unsweetened almond milk to your serving of protein powder until you get a smooth, but thick consistency, similar to frosting (upper left). Refrigerate until ready to use.

2) Weigh out your serving of cake mix, add a little water or diet soda, and stir until batter is smooth. Microwave for 40-60 seconds.

3) Remove cake from microwave and top with protein frosting. Enjoy!

* You could also use this recipe to bake cupcakes in the oven. If you do so, I would recommend using diet soda for the liquid, rather than water.
