Protein Dark Chocolate Muffin: 7.5/10
When I hear Trader Joe’s is marketing something with protein in the title, I’m very hopeful that it will be nutritious. This chocolate muffin would be more of a dessert replacement for me rather than a healthy protein to eat after a workout. It tasted like a chocolate mug cake rather than a muffin. I did enjoy the chocolate flavor overall and it had lots of melted chocolate throughout. It would be even better with a little drizzle of peanut butter on top! This muffin mix comes in a single serving container (which is convenient but a lot of packing for sure). Another thing to note; I found that the water line you were supposed to pour to was very hard to see. I felt like I was failing an eye exam trying to see if I had poured enough water or too much 😂 It’s $1.99 for each muffin.
What flavor did you like best? Chocolate or Maple??
15 grams of sugar = 30 percent sugar!! 😬
Ooh, thanks for the peanut butter drizzle tip – I picked one up yesterday!
Too many carbs might as well eat a real muffin
Need to try!
Going to try this tomorrow!

@kodiakcakes are 10x better. I was very disappointed with these
@vickiotchere you try this?

Is it dry? I’ve bought some mug cakes before, and they were so dry (and I followed the directions) that they were almost inedible.
Totally agree with all of this! We have a small bit to our toddler and told him it was a muffin and he insisted that it was cake- so he agrees too 😘
I wonder if these are better than Kodiak cakes pancake cups? They have the same flavors!
Flavor was good but I agree about the water line! Also, I didn’t follow instructions and neglected to mix it after I added the water before I put it in the microwave…😭😂
At that price I’d make my own mug cake and add a spoon of collagen for some protein!
Yum, I need to try! Chocolate sounds better!
8 grams of saturated fat is so awful, that is not near healthy whatsoever
This one is definitely better than the maple. It does a good job masking the egg flavor that’s strong in the maple one.
Its so good! I added milk in mine and cooked it for 70 seconds. Then i let it cool down. SO GOOD! You dont even taste any protein. And it has chocolate chips. So its moist 😍😍😍
I didn’t like the after taste…
@basicbrittblog want.
It was meh. Not worth it
Bought this one too I’m hoping I enjoy it
10/10
