EATING A CUP-----cake ...seriously?

...and it is OHHHHHHHH SO GOOD TOO  .... low cal and LOADED with protein can I say YUM?

Brainstorming meals especially on a day when I ran out of the house later than I should have and left my breakfast intact on the table ... while I have my lunch bag handy I felt no desire to eat the portion of baked crab-stuffed chicken breast that I had packed for lunch ... so the "crazy lightbulb" in my head went off .... I had a couple of sandwich bags each with a portioned off scoop of protein for JUST IN CASE days where lunch is a squeeze or on the run ...  I had an awesome idea ... tweaking the protein cake-shake recipe once shared on the mainboard here by a DS sista I got creative ... with a scoop of protein ... a half of a graham cracker and a 1/4 cup of water ... 

I took a coffee cup ... in it I emptied a heaping scoop of vanilla whey protein powder ... I took a graham cracker and split it in half and crumbed it and dumped it in the cup over the scoop of protein powder ... I then went over to the sink and poured a pit of water I would say 1/4 cup or maybe a tad more and I mixed well and nuked for 1.5 minutes in the microwave here at work...

Can I say YUM! OMG my CUP (because I made in in a coffee cup) CAKE is DELICIOUS..... no sugar added ... no sweeteners used except 1/2 of a graham cracker ... TO DIE FOR and filling ... I LOVE IT!!!

I am going to miss this facility as we move towards closing and I prepare to move in to my new position also off the main campus and closer to home WOOT!!! so in the interim I am enjoying a cup of tea and my awesome protein CUP----cake.... YUM!

You look totally awesome with the short hair, ( not that your not beautiful with the long hair). The cake idea is cool too. What a good idea. Thanks for posting and have a great day!!!

 Thanks ... it is filling too ... I ate over half of it and will have the rest later ... it was cooler last night and I slept so hard I woke up later than I should have ... and had no time to fart around with long hair LOL...

You are always coming up with the most creative meal ideas. Thanks for always sharing. 

I just LOVE a quick meal .... and this one hit the spot too .... it is sistas like you who allow me to share the goofiness that make the journey so much more enjoyable.... thanks for allowing me to share Miss Liss....

Well aren't you a smart one!!! Love that idea!

I also love how your pretty plate goes so well with that pretty outfit you are wearing!! 

Try it Nell it is DELISH IMO.... LOL on the plate .. I could not find a paper plate ANYWHERE in here so I went fishing in my locker for the one I use to warm my lunch up on.... It made my CUP---CAKE look prettier didn't it? LOL

I just bought some protein powder, I think I will give it a try!! Love a quick & easy meal. 

I love how summery you look! And yum, cup cake!  Mmmmm

Interesting--I will have to try that!! I have several bags marked with 1 scoop and 1 1/2 scoops of powders in my car, desk and handbag for those 'just in case' moments. Now I will have to stash a graham cracker or two, as well!

AWESOME tip!!
