Gluten Free High Protein Pumpkin Cranberry Mug Cake

Gluten Free High Protein Pumpkin Cranberry Mug Cake

IMG_3503

I know we are well on our way into peppermint and gingerbread season, but pumpkin will always be my favorite. I recently teamed up with Sun Warrior, a company that makes delicious, gluten free, vegan, non GMO, no soy protein powders and supplements! I love their protein powder and was excited to get in the kitchen to create some recipes using their products!

One thing I haven’t yet made my for my blog, but love and eat all the time are mug cakes! Sun Warrior gave me the perfect opportunity to incorporate their awesome products into a mug cake. Like I said, I’m still wayyyyyy into the pumpkin, so with the fresh cranberries I just picked up at the store, pumpkin cranberry it was! (You could also swap out the cranberries for chocolate chips). This is easy to throw together, and it’s a super healthy treat with almost 30 grams of protein packed into it, between the protein powder, egg whites, pumpkin & coconut flour! How could you go wrong? I really hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, and give Sun Warrior products a try, they truly are one of my favorite protein powders out there!

Paleo & Nut Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins

Paleo & Nut Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins

IMG_3192

It’s summer & it’s berry season! I’ve been super duper craving muffins lately, and I still have an obscene amount of blueberries in the freezer from last summer, and knowing that we’re going to go again soon, I want to use them up. So lemon blueberry muffins it is (and they are nut free)! That means lots of blueberry smoothies, etc! Although I love blueberries (and lemons), my favorite berry is the blackberry (I have a great recipe for a blackberry smoothie here and a great recipe for blackberry watermelon popsicles here). What is your favorite berry?
