Fudgy Protein Mug Cake

Jul 19, 2019

This Fudgy Protein Mug Cake is a quick and easy, protein-packed, and guilt-free sweet treat. And, it’s single-serving so you won’t overinduldge.

If you’ve been around for awhile now, you know just how strongly I feel about the importance of real food. Real, whole foods should always trump packaged, processed food, in my opinion. For example, I don’t believe in replacing high quality meats and veggies with protein powders or bars. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t use these products to supplement my whole food, nutrient-rich diet. Sometimes a girl needs a little sweet treat. You feel me?

When I indulge in something sweet, I prefer using high-quality protein powder, instead of dense gluten-free or nut- based flours. I’ve noticed I tend to digest protein powder better, which might be true for you, too. Plus, it’s always helpful to consume an extra protein dose in my sweet treat.

Why Protein is Essential

As we know, protein is necessary for optimal health. We need plenty...

Coconut Butter & Jelly Cup (single-serving, 4 ingredients, sugar-free, paleo, keto)

Jan 15, 2018

I saw someone eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the other day and had the idea to recreate it as a healthy dessert! I used to live for PB&Js as a kid. Since I don’t eat peanut butter anymore (aflatoxin/mold), and the only nut butter I had in the house was coconut butter, this recipe was created. It didn’t disappoint! I bet this might be even more delicious if you used SunButter or a Sprouted Almond Butter, so please let me know if you do use any of those and how they turn out.

I tend to avoid multi-layer desserts, since they require extra steps and seem to take a bit longer (#lazy), but this one is maybe an extra 2 minutes and it’s so worth it! This is another single-serving recipe (for my/your lack of willpower), but feel free to multiply it to create a full batch.

Hope this recipe brings you a bit of nostalgia for your own childhood. Please let me know me if you recreate this one and how it turned out. Tag me on Instagram, so I can see and

Single Serving Chocolate Chip Muffin (sugar-free, paleo, keto, SIBO-friendly)

Dec 12, 2017

I don’t know about you, but I have zero self-control when it comes to dessert. Sweet treats don’t last more than a day in my house, and even that is generous. It’s so serious that I even bought a $70 time locking container to put treats in (that I quickly returned, because $70?!?!). Every time I bake a batch of cookies or muffins, I immediately give most of them away to clients, friends, strangers on the street. Anything to get them out of my house, where I will likely inhale the whole batch within hours.

Why don’t I just stop making them, you ask? Because I love healthy treats and I don’t think life is meant to be lived without them. The only answer, then, is to create single-serving healthy treats that’ll leave me feeling satisfied without 11 other servings tempting me with their deliciousness. And, apparently, I’m not the only one. I asked my Instagram family if they lack self-control like I do and the resounding answer was YES! Which is what leads me here, to the f...
