Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate protein powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder and egg to a microwave-safe mug or bowl.
  • Stir until completely combined. For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese mixture before cooking.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips, pushing a few toward the center for a gooey middle.
  • Microwave on high for approximately 90 seconds. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly soft and jiggly.
  • Let the lava cake rest for 1 minute before serving.
  • Add your favorite toppings and enjoy warm.
