[padremama 101]

Just tried my first one and yuck! But will try again.

what flavor and Protein powder type did you use? and what kind of liquid? im keeping a record so i know what works and what doesnt.

I used syntax nectar vanilla bean torte. Not sure if my baking powder was too old.

@@lifeofblair I also found these at The Vitamin Shop!! And they aren't bad. I had the chocolate which was good and the pumpkin Maple which was also good. I also had a Crispy Apple flavoring but hated that one, though I may have made that one wrong. Read the directions each time because the amount of Water is different!!!

I have not been able to make the ones from the Protein powder yet. I am not a very experienced cook and all the recipes have been so general (some of this and a bit of that). That means nothing to me! lol. I need exact measurements of exact ingredients. Still not 100% sure what sugar free Syrup is.

@@padremama it does not work well with the Syntrax nectar. The Syntrax Matrix is a different formulation and the one you have to use to get anything that resembles something edible....ask me how I know! Matrix has some kind of egg product which prompted me to try added egg whites and a lil bit more baking powder to get it to rise.

I have replaced a snack a day with this, combined with no glass of wine in the evening and I am losing! I am ok at goal, but I like to be under goal to give me a little bounce range. I think this satiates a bit of the desire to eat, not drink and is more filling. I have no idea if the slow combined with faster release Protein of matrix makes a difference but I have been curbing my eating late in the day much more successfully.

Thanks, I think they have samples at the Vitamin store. I will try it.

Photo of inge diets I use. Just so happen to be the flavors I like and have on hand.

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

This is me added 1/4 tsp of baking powder, but it's a little heaped as I want just a dash more.

Then I mix these dry ingedients

Splash of the sugar free flavoring

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

A little more egg beaters then I intended, hard to photo and pour...but a tablespoon is about right

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

I have mixed enough of the flavored, sugar free Creamer to get a pretty thick cake batter

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

End result - sometimes it rises better than others, this one is a little flat but ok

Has anyone used Quest Protein Powder? Also I did not like the blueberry pancakes from the bariatric store so this might be a matter of taste.

[Robin Leighbuchanan 48]

Oh, how wonderful these cake recipes are! Thank you all for sharing. I just made my first one...it was a little dry, so I thought to myself, hmmm...OH! I know, I've got strawberries in the fridge that I thawed out yesterday, they have some liquid on the bottom, let me add that. The liquid, along with a few of the strawberries made it so good!

Hubby, who has not done the GSS but is on my diet, tasted it, and his eyes popped wide open. "Make more!!" was the cry. I've found a winner!

[CowgirlJane 14,261]

I haven't used Quest but if it doesn't have the egg ingredient, may not work. My first attempt was with Syntrax nectar and it was a flop.

ive been intrigued by the Quest because of the flavors, but i havent bothered to try it. I also had very poor results with the Nectars, but the matrix, was perfect.

Remember you can buy the matrix at the Vitamin shoppe for a lot cheaper than some Protein powders, although i got the deal of a lifetime, Amazon accidentally put a listing for 6 5 pound bags of the matrix mint cookie, for 50 bucks, so i ordered it. but i only got 1 5lb bag so when i complained they gave me that 5 pounds for 7 bucks. lol Yay!

so now i have a 5 lbs of mint cookie in a air tight container and i use it. and i do find of i gain a little a few days of substituting a meal or a snack with the mug-cake really puts me back on track. Ive been using the mug-cake recipe doubled up for Breakfast for about 3 months now and it really helps me.
