Guilt Free 21 Day Fix Approved Shakeology Cake In A Mug

Guilt Free
 21 Day Fix Approved 
Shakeology Cake In A Mug

   I need to start by stating the fact that if I said "I have a sweet tooth" it would be a major understatement!!  I love sweets of all kinds....cake, cookies, pie, any dessert type really.  I have found this the biggest challenge while living a healthier lifestyle.  I do however realize that the few times I have caved and allowed myself to eat (insert dessert) that it made me feel absolutely lousy! I would have stomach aches, feel lethargic, and sleepy....not really what my body was needing.  Needless to say eating it wasn't an option, but neither was not eating it.  So today I set out to make not only one but two solutions and I am pretty pleased with myself if I do say so myself.  

Two different versions of a cake in a mug to choose from!! So if your like me and just need something to help curb your cravings but still keep you on track check out these recipes!


Fudgy Chocolate Shakeology Cake!!!!

This is a combination of chocolate cake and gooey brownie.....seriously you feel like your cheating on your diet!! This recipe is Super simple and with only a few ingredients you can make this too.

Ingredients:
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil (melted)
  • 1 Scoop or Packet of Chocolate Shakeology
  • 4 Tbsp Almond Milk
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Soda

Okay so once you are ready take a microwave safe mug and add your dry ingredients and mix.  Next take a bowl and whisk your egg white until its frothy and bubbly.  Add your almond milk and coconut oil to your egg and mix.  Add your egg mixture to your dry ingredients in the mug and mix until there you are sure there is no dry mix on the bottom on the mug.  Place mug in microwave and cook for 70 seconds.  If you overcook it your cake will still workout it just won't be ooey and gooey (maybe you don't want that either - in that case cook for an extra 15 seconds)

Take it out of microwave and let it cool for a few seconds so you don't burn your mouth trying to get that cake in your belly, but enjoy!!

If you want to jazz it up even more you can add a tsp of natural peanut butter to it before you microwave.


Lemon Vanilla Shakeology Cake

Honestly I didn't think I could make anything that could compare to the chocolate but this is so different that is just as good.  The lemon in this cake makes it taste like the lemon dainties my grandma used to make....Mmm!

Ingredients:

  • 1 Scoop or Packet of Vanilla Shakeology
  • 1 Tbsp Applesauce
  • 1 Tbsp Almond Milk
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/8 tsp Baking Powder
  • Egg White

Same as with the Chocolate cake start out by adding the dry ingredients in your microwave safe mug.  Whisk your egg white in a clean bowl until frothy and bubbly.  mix into your egg the rest of the ingredients applesauce, lemon juice, almond milk, vanilla extract and lemon zest.  Mix lemon/egg mixture with your dry ingredients in your mug.  Stir until your sure its all mixed well and there is no dry powder on the bottom of the mug.  Microwave for 75 Seconds, be careful it will be hot when it comes out so let it cool for a few seconds before you did in!

I hope you guys enjoy! 

P.S. if you are following the 21 day fix meal plan these cakes will equal 1 1/8 of a red container.
