Traditionally, both microwave cakes and high-protein cakes have a bad reputation. They tend to have a dry and dense texture. This recipe offers a lighter version of these two cakes that can easily be cooked in an RV’s or accommodation’s microwave.

High in protein, this snack is a valuable contribution to your nutrition. You can also add fresh or dried fruit for additional fiber. Served with yogurt adds more protein and calcium. The mix is made completely of powders, so store for long periods of time until needed.

Serving the pudding with yogurt, cream, or ice cream adds some extra moisture to what is traditionally a dry way of cooking.

A one-third cup measure is being used to scoop out chocolate protein mix from the bulk bowl.

The mixture can be kept in bulk and used when needed or broken down into individual servings for easier storage and distribution.

The texture of pudding cooked in a microwave is notoriously rubbery, this recipe is a lighter and smoother version.
