With winter in full swing, dropping temperatures oftentimes bring on the feeling of hunkering down, cozying up, and enjoying some comfort food. To keep it healthy, mug cakes are becoming a staple for the Powell Pack because they’re sure to hit that sweet, comfort food spot, but healthy enough so you don’t derail all the amazing transformation progress you’ve made.

Plus, I’ve got an amazing treat for you to make this recipe that much better! Chris and I are excited to announce the release of our Perform Whey Protein Isolate?available in vanilla and perfect for this recipe. It’s great for those low carb days if you’re carb cycling or when you need a straight shot of protein while you’re balancing those macros. That’s a win-win, and with an added dessert recipe that’s an extra win in my book.

Bonus: To start that sweet treat off right, I’m giving away a bundle (value of $76.98) of one tub of Perform Whey Protein Isolate AND one tub of Chris and Heidi Meal Replacement Vanilla Shake (best of both worlds ?). Scroll down to learn how to enter!
