Whether you are a musician, athlete, or worker, everyone has their own temptations. Mine is definitely cake, not the healthiest, right? Well, maybe it doesn't have to be as unhealthy as we think. One important factor of health that people must understand is that portion control is key. Too much of any one food can potentially be negative to your diet. Mug cakes are the best food to satisfy your temptation without the guilt. They are quick to make, the perfect amount for one person, obviously delicious, and requires almost no clean up.

​I used a basic cake batter recipe for each cake, however, feel free to substitute ingredients for healthier options. Try cocao powder instead of cocoa powder (not a typing error, they may look the same spelling wise but they’re 2 different things). Cocao powder provides more than 40 times the antioxidants of blueberries and more calcium than cow's milk, while keeping the delicious chocolate taste. Another substitute you can utilize is switching out flour for ground flax-seed. So, here are my top three flavors, hope you guys try them out and enjoy them as much as I do!
