Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan or 8x8 pan with non-stick spray. In a small bowl combine 1/3 cup truvia and 2tbsp cinnamon (set aside). In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients and in another mix together wet ingredients. Combine the dry and wet and whisk.

Pour the rest of the batter in the pan and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar mixture. Bake for 25-30min. 

Protein milkshake

Am I the only one that could sit and eat ice-cream every night before bed?! I don't think so. Here is a way that you CAN and without the fatty sugar filled ice-cream!!

1 frozen banana
3-4 ice cubes
1 scoop chocolate protein (i use muscle pharm combat - chocolate milk)
2 tbsp peanut butter (or if you're watching your weight try PB2)
1/4 cup - 1/2 cup milk (you can also use almond milk - more or less depending on how thick you like it:)

Peel and freeze a ripe banana. Place all ingredients in your blender and blend until smooth! You can do this without the protein in you prefer. Maybe add drizzle of chocolate syrup instead. If you need extra carbs in your diet try adding quick oats!! I like to drink a protein shake before bed that way my muscles are being fed. Musclepharm's Combat protein not only has whey isolate but also casein which is awesome to take at night before bed because it's slower digesting and helps prevent muscle breakdown while you're asleep. Try it!

Chocolate peanut butter protein cupcakes

This recipe was aspired from getfitfeelsexy.blogspot.com . I follow her on instagram and she is always posting yummy treats. These were delish! The only thing i would do differently next time is use 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white instead of ALL whites, they were a tad bit dry. 

Ingredients:

3 egg whites
8 packets of sweetener of your choice
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 scoops chocolate protein powder (your choice)
2 teaspoons coco powder
10 table spoons of PB2 ( defatted peanut flour)
1/2 teaspoon of backing soda

Natural Peanut butter for topping (optional)

Mix wet ingredients, add dry ingredients bake for 15 min at 350. Once they come out of the oven you can spread natural peanut butter on top for a "frosting".
