Tuck into this indulgent snack after a workout for a protein boost

Method:

  1. Spray a large mug with cooking spray. You definitely want to use a big mug when making this to avoid overflow when cooking.
  2. Add the mashed banana, protein powder, peanut butter, milk, chocolate chips, and baking powder to the mug.
  3. Stir until everything is fully combined and has a batter-like consistency.
  4. Microwave for 60-75 seconds, and then leave to cool for 30 seconds. It should be mostly dry the touch and have a cake-like texture.

Tips:

For different flavors, try out different varieties of protein powder, switch the dark chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, or add in fruit like blueberries or raspberries.
