Supplement Judge Unbiased Supplement Reviews – Do they really work??
Welp, I’ve gotta admit it: I have the most insatiable sweet tooth of anyone I know. I have been known to ingest entire tubes of Oreos, whole bags of pick ‘n mix … I don’t just do one cookie, or one chocolate. Oh no. However, the nutritional value of all my favourite sweet treats is non-existent. It’s just calories on calories on calories, with a little added sat fat and sugar. And as far as training goes … this is kind of bad news.
So thank goodness for protein powder. With a scoop of chocolate protein powder here and a spoon of PB2 there, you can whip up some rather delightful sweets that won’t make you feel guilty for having a nibble or three when you need it. The following treats passed the scrutiny of the Amy test, and trust me: I’m a discerning sugar junkie. I guarantee you’ll love them.

- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of rolled oats
- 1/4 cup of coconut milk (from the carton, you can sub this with almond or hazelnut milk too!)
- 1 tbsp of chia seeds
- 1/4 cup of perfect fit vanilla protein powder
- 1 tbsp of coconut flour
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 medium grated carrot
- 1/4 cup of applesauce
- 1 tsp of vanilla essence
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
- 1 tsp of allspice
- 2 tsp of orange rind
Instructions
- First, mix your oats, coconut milk, and chia seeds in a big bowl. Let the mix sit for half an hour so it gets nice and thick – this will be your egg substitute! Next, add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix it up with a spoon or fork.
- Bake for 40 minutes in a loaf tin. Let it cool once removed from the over, pop out and enjoy warm!
- If you want to make the cake crunchier too, add some walnuts to the batter or chopped pecans.
Notes
- You can always bake it in muffin cases though or double the recipe and make a bigger cake.
