Vanilla Tahini Protein Mug Cake

Vanilla Tahini Protein Mug Cake
So sometimes I just want a cookie. It’s true. Especially chocolate chip cookies - they’re just my thing!! And this is one of my favorites! It has tahini in it which just makes it an extra nutrient powerhouse in terms of some extra calcium, but it also contains antioxidants, which help prevent free radical damage in your body and may reduce your risk of diseases (like type 2 diabetes and heart disease). Tahini contains compounds that may improve brain health and decrease your risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases like dementia too!

Ingredients:
  • 3 1/2 tbsps All Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
  • 2 tbsps Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsps Coconut Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
  • 1 tbsp Tahini
  • 1 tbsp Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions:
  1. In a mug whisk the flour, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and tahini. Stir well to combine until no flour remains. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  2. Microwave for 90 seconds until the cake is spongy to the touch. Allow the cake to cool slightly and enjoy!

Meet Leah Negrin

 
I am a bold, beautiful, sometimes timid, usually happy, essential oil, nutrition junkie. Although at 39 I feel as if I've had several careers over a lifetime (or at least sometimes when I look back at my resume that is what shines through). I've been a paralegal, an office manager, an administrative assistant, worked in commercial lending and have finally landed on nutrition.

My journey to nutrition started many years ago when my sister was diagnosed with celiac disease and food had to change for the family. From there, along my own health journey I’ve helped people not only figure out what to eat but how to do it so that it can work for them sustainably. For almost seven years I’ve been counseling people on their nutrition and weight loss journeys.

I am knowledgeable about what purpose food serves your body and I focus on finding sustainable options when it comes to food; this also led to my love of essential oils. I had the opportunity to attend a workshop where a registered dietitian spoke about using essential oils in her practice to help her patients. I was floored. I knew that #plantsheal but I didn't realize that others in the 'conventional' medical community thought that as well!! Learning that it was possible to incorporate these magical little bottles gave me a huge sense of hope.

As I learned more about these oils I was diagnosed with increased intestinal permeability or as many of us know it, leaky gut. Leaky gut has been around for quite awhile but many of us are just learning what this is or why this is even more common these days than ever before. Many issues can be related to leaky gut including autoimmune diseases. Receiving this diagnosis just led me down a path further to learn about nutrition and how to best serve my body and take care of myself.

Since birthing our sweet baby boy at home earlier this year I’ve been incredibly passionate about helping other women too who are pregnant and new mothers with their nutrition. Eating healthy for your pregnant body and your postpartum self is a game changer for both mother and baby.
