Fitness Desserts – Red Velvet Protein Cake Recipe

February 14, 2017 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

Valentine’s Day is almost here. It is a time to show love and is usually predicated by candy and decadent dinners that can be calorie bombs in every sense. Instead, why not show love to the fitness enthusiast in your life. Maybe diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but nothing’s wrong with some protein cake options! Check out these Valentine’s Day Fit Tips for desserts and gifts.

 

RED VELVET PROTEIN CAKE

Cake Ingredients 

  • ¼ cup whey powder (vanilla or red velvet flavor)
  • *Use a whey/casein blend as it adds a thickness what whey alone doesn’t.
  • ¼ cup fat free Greek yogurt (Oikos Triple Zero vanilla is recommended)
  • ½ cup pasteurized liquid egg whites
  • 2 Tbl almond flour
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 1 Tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ½ Tsp baking soda
  • ½ Tsp red food color
  • 1 Tsp liquid non-caloric sweetener or ½ cup Sucralose powder

*If you want the red velvet flavor, choose the flavored red velvet protein powder. There are several whey protein shakes on the market.  So, if you love red velvet, this could be your flavor!
