To get started with this particular recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook chocolate protein mugcake using 9 ingredients and 5 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Chocolate Protein Mugcake:
- Get 1 scoop chocolate diet/protein whey (I used PHD Belguim Choc),
- Prepare 1 medium egg,
- Get 1/2 tsp baking powder,
- Get 50-70 ml unsweetened almond milk, or alternative,
- Take 5-6 drops toffee flav drops (optional),
- Make ready 1 tsp good quality cocoa powder,
- Take Toppings
- Get Chocolate sugar free syrup,
- Prepare 1 tbsp protein chocolate spread (I used white by Myprotein)
Steps to make Chocolate Protein Mugcake:
- In a mug add the protein powder, and then stir in the baking powder and cocoa powder. Next add the flav drops if using them.
- Add the egg and half the milk and give it a really good stir until it forms a thick cake batter. Add the remaining milk bit by bit whilst stirring until you get a pretty thick but smooth consistency. Ensure you really get all the bits of powder incorporated, particularly in the bottom edges of the mug.
- Clean the edges of the inner rim of the mug using your finger, this ensures the cake rises more evenly.
- Microwave on high for just over a minute until it has risen about 1 inch over the mugs edge. It's key that you don't over microwave it, as otherwise the texture won't be soft in the centre but firm.
- Remove and squirt over some chocolate syrup and then add a dollop of protein chocolate spread. Eat immediately and enjoy!
Foods That Can Make You Happy
Many of us have been taught to think that comfort foods are bad and should be avoided. However, if your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be super nutritious and good for you. Several foods actually do raise your mood when you eat them. If you seem to be a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try some of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are great for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the egg yolk. The egg yolk is the most important part of the egg iwhen it comes to helping you cheer up. Eggs, the yolk in particular, are high in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to boost your mood. This is because they help your neural transmitters–the parts of your brain that dictate your mood–run better. Consume an egg and feel happier!
Make a trail mixfrom different seeds and nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, etcetera are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because seeds and nuts have plenty of magnesium which raises your brain’s serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given moment. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a terrific protein food source.
If you want to battle depression, try consuming some cold water fish. Wild salmon, herring, mackerel, trout, and tuna are all rich in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can actually help you battle your depression.
Grains can be excellent for driving away a bad mood. Teff, barley, millet, quinoa, etc are all good for helping you be in a happier state of mind. These grains fill you up better and that can help you with your moods also. Feeling famished can be a real downer! The reason these grains elevate your mood is that they are not difficult for your body to digest. They are easier to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You were simply expecting to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in a particular amino acid called L-theanine. Research has discovered that this amino acid stimulates the production of brain waves. This will better your brain’s focus while simultaneously loosening up the rest of your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you know that green tea can improve your mood also!
