I am not a fan of protein shakes - the consistency is not my favorite thing. I'd rather make my protein like a pudding and eat it. I think it keeps me satisfied longer and it also makes me feel like I'm eating a "sweet".
BUT! If I have the time, I like to experiment and make new protein "sweets". Tonight I made a yummy, delicious vegan mug cake. It wasn't too sweet, but it was definitely satisfying. I know it doesn't look the best - the cake fell apart on me!
The best thing is that I got a lot of these ingredients from the bulk food section, so it was super cheap to make!
Ingredients
3 tbsp protein powder
2 tbsp powdered peanut butter
2 tbsp oats
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp oil
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 a banana (ripe works better)
Recipe
~ Mix all ingredients in a coffee mug, except for the banana.
~ Add water to the coffee mug, just a little at a time. Mix. Keep repeating until it's a liquidy pudding-like consistency. Put this to the side.
~ Take the banana and mash in a separate bowl.
~ Mix the banana mixture in the coffee mug. Add more water if needed.
~ Microwave for 2 minutes.
~ Let sit for 1 minute.
I hope you enjoy! I'm going to continue to experiment with different recipes. Like I said, I think it's just so much more fun to eat a protein "sweet" as opposed to drinking a shake.
