Healthy, Mint Chocolate, Protein Cupcakes! (Low-Carb, THM, Keto)

Who doesn’t love a good chocolate, mint dessert?? I actually know a lot of people who don’t, and they’re mostly guys. It must  be an actual scientific thing, because there’s only like 2 guys I know that like mint. Anyways, if you guys have been following along with my blog, or my Instagram, you would have seen that I’ve been using 1st Phorm’s chocolate mint protein powder. So, I’ve been trying it in different recipes to be creative with how I get my protein in, and to also make quick convenient snacks for on the go.

These are super quick and easy to make! It just takes a box mix, and some protein powder!

My mom found the simple mills cake mixes at a discount store near us. They’re made with only clean ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 Simple Mills Chocolate and muffin and cake mix

  • 2 Scoops Chocolate Mint Protein Powder (I used 1st Phorm's)

Instructions

  • Follow the directions on the box, and add the protein powder with the batter.
  • Bake for instructed amount of time. I would do less just because you are adding more dry ingredients.
  • If you up the water, you could probably do the regular amount. Just check with a toothpick in the middle until it reaches the desired doneness!

Healthy, Chocolate, Cherry Bars! Vegan! (5-ingredients)

I know I’ve been MIA lately, and it’s been a few weeks since I posted a recipe. What can I say?? It’s summer, and it’s been busy. Recently I’ve been looking more into nutrition, and protein especially as I want to make sure that I’m fueling my body correctly for workouts.

Totally forgot to put the cherries in the picture, and ain’t nobody got time for that!! Haha. I also made a peanut butter version that i’ll post next week. Which has more protein obviously because of the peanut butter. Cherries, cocoa, and dates both have protein, but the almonds carry the biggest amount. These are super quick and easy to make. They’re perfect for on the go, which was what I was aiming for. A quick bar with protein for after a workout, or on-the-go snack.

It’s enough to fill a bread pan, so if you wanna double it then feel free! It makes 6 normal size bars, or 9 if you want mini’s. Be sure to blend well to make everything chopped up better, which makes them stick together better.
