Variations

1. Feel free to use any flavor of Rule 1 R1 Whey Blend that you prefer. It just so happens that vanilla is my favorite flavor.
2. Feel free to substitute almond flour with  regular all-purpose flour. You could use coconut flour, but I find it has a grainy, gritty texture. Also remember any changes you make will also change the macronutrient profile. 
3. Try adding cinnamon for a great flavor enhancement.
4. You can add any toppings you want, such as sugar-free Cool Whip, nuts, low-sugar caramel sauce, or Breyer’s Carb Smart ice cream, to name a few. Change your macronutrient profile accordingly.

Supplement Suggestions

Your primary supplements should always be based on cornerstone products as suggested in all of my articles. Remember that quality food comes first and supplements are just that, a “supplement’ to a clean diet. With that being said, supplements are targeted to provide a specific result, typically a result you can’t really get from food. 

Therefore, once you have your cornerstone stack, add some additional products that can help you reach your goals. For example, I usually add an EAA powder. Why? Because I can support protein synthesis at the proper times by drinking a powder high in leucine that also has all the supporting aminos. 

In the case of this decadent Vanilla Protein Mug Cake recipe, you already have a good protein powder. Rule 1 R1 Whey Blend consists of 3 types of fast digesting whey protein: concentrate, isolate, and hydrolyzed isolate. 

Don’t forget about your other cornerstone supplements, namely a good pre-workout, such as Panda Supplements First Blood. This is an exceptional Pre with a huge 10 grams of citrulline and 3 different sources of caffeine, and that’s just for starters!

Of course, your cornerstone stack should also include creatine. I suggest AllMax Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate. This product is micronized, and uses patented CreaSyn® creatine.

Finally, don’t forget a multi, such as Beverly International Super Pack. This is a classic formula that is a well-dosed, complete multi-vitamin formula.
