Single Serving Strawberry Shortcake with 21g of Protein

Ingredients

1 scoop of Vanilla Premier Protein® Powder
1 tsp sugar substitute
1/4 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 egg, room temperature
2 tbsp of unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients: the Vanilla Premier Protein® powder, sugar substitute, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well combined.
Add in the egg and almond milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Grease a microwave-safe mug and pour the mixture into it.
Microwave on high for 30-40 seconds. Check the cake by inserting a toothpick or cake tester into it. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Be careful not to microwave the cake for over 45 seconds as it could result in a rubbery texture.
Let the cake cool before serving then add your preferred strawberry topping.

* Ideas for Toppings:

Fresh strawberries sliced and topped with sugar-free whipped cream.
