Chocolate fixes everything. And by “everything,” I mean the number on the scale too. Yes…I AM telling you that you can mow down some chocolate and still lose weight and reach your goals! How? With this unbelievably delicious mug-full-of-chocolatey goodness. This gem of a recipe—straight from our book, Extreme Transformation—is heaven in 60 seconds for anyone who loves chocolate, and if you don’t love chocolate, you may have a severe medical condition that requires the assistance of a doctor. (Jokes) But in all seriousness, as an on-the-go mom, anything that says “One-Minute” + won’t derail my macros is a huge win in my book. I know you want to try it, so grab your favorite mug (cute holiday mug here too), and get ready to nosh on this sweet treat!
Nothing makes a one-minute treat more delicious than some cute accessories (and I added my favorite sweater):

Hi Team Powell,
I’m currently using the Transform app – hands down the best all-inclusive fitness and nutrition app on the market. You guys did it right! I’m seeing some serious results in only 3 weeks so I’m very anxious and motivated to continue! About the 1 minute brownie, the recipe calls for heavy whipping cream. Would that be the fluffy kind in a container or aerosol can, or from a carton?
Hi Aimey: We love that you’re loving the app! If you wouldn’t mind, please leave us a review in your app store – we’d really appreciate it! 🙂 For the brownie recipe, it’s heavy whipping cream from an aerosol can. Have an awesome day!
I have a question… What happens if you don’t like maple syrup. Is there something you can sub for that in the 1-minute brownie? Thanks!
Hi Michele: You can substitute agave syrup or honey in the recipe, and that should work fine!
Hi!
Anyway we could get examples of types/brands of protein powder? All I “know” are meal replacement protein shakes and not sure where to begin with buying just a protein powder that tastes great. 🙂
Hi Leslie: We recommend low fat (less than 3 g), low carb (less than 7g), with around 20-25g of protein per serving. Other that, go with what you like best!
