Disclaimer: I was compensated by PlantFusion to create this recipe. However, like always, the opinions are entirely my own. Promise ????

I know, I am late to the whole “mug cake” frenzy.

And yes, now I will admit that I wish I jumped on this bandwagon a whole lot sooner.

But from now on, this will be new favorite snack.  And treat.  And maybe breakfast some days.  There’s protein in there!

So yes, I added some melted chocolate and sprinkles to make this even more fun, but since I’ve had it both ways, I can’t attest that it’s equally delicious with or without the fun stuff.

On top of all this deliciousness, there is a ton of protein in this!

I was so excited to try this PlantFusion Vanilla Chai Protein and I absolutely loved it.  Plantfusion protein is 100% plant-based (vegan), dairy, soy and gluten free, sugar free, top 8 allergen free, is smooth tasting compared to other vegan plant proteins and is the only powder on the market that includes probiotics and fermented foods to aid digestion! That’s huge!

I love my probiotics.  What I love even more about Plantfusion is their “whole food” approach.  They use living fermented foods which contains tons of strains of naturally occurring probiotics that help to aid in digestion.  I love this.

  3. That’s so cool that it has fermented foods and probiotics in there! I NEED this. I try to eat sauerkraut every day but it’s hard because I absolutely hate it. 😉 I’d much rather eat this cake. 😀

    • Hi Teri! I imagine it would be too dry without the coconut oil? Let me know if you make it without it! Thank you!
