I’ve been seeing these all over IG, especially with the new flavor that PEScience just released so I couldn’t help but make some protein cake pops for myself! I’m really digging this new flavor but you can obviously make these with any flavor or protein you’d like.
This recipe is basically the mug cake that I make pretty much nightly with a couple of extra steps. Dessert is what I look forward to every night! I like to have my dinner, make sure the kitchen in cleaned up, and then sit down and enjoy my dessert in peace. Once I’m done I’m pretty much ready to go to bed. I go to sleep with a full belly, satiated sweet tooth, and dream all the good things!
I made these kind of on a whim because I had just received the new flavor, IG was full of cake pop pictures, and a good friend of mine requested them. I’ve made these a couple times since then and what I’ve been doing is making the mug cake in the morning so that when I get home I can crush it up, add the other ingredients, and have it ready for dessert.
I made four cake pops with just one of my mug cakes and for all four of these delicious treats you are still eating less calories than one of the cake pops you can purchase at Starbucks. These cuties come in at 151 calories, 12 carbs, 2 fat, and 21 protein! If you’re into protein treats then these are definitely for you!
Protein Dessert!
Protein cake pops are definitely going to be on repeat for a while! Tag me in your posts if you end up making them and let me know how you like them. The best part is you can adjust the protein quantity to fit your macros. The fats and carbs are still pretty low, especially for a dessert. These little guys aren’t dry or tough like a lot of high protein recipes. In fact, they’re the opposite! So, indulge and enjoy!
