Each year as my birthday rolls around, I search for an acceptably healthy birthday dessert to serve to my co-workers, friends, and family. This year, I decided to compile a guilt-free angel food cake recipe with a boost in protein. Serve at your next milestone event, or just as a light and nutritious dessert anytime!

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup cake flour, sifted
• 2 scoops Vanilla Live Rite protein powder sifted with flour
• 12 egg whites
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tsp. cream of tartar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a food processor (I use my Magic Bullet), blend sugar for 2 minutes. You should notice a shift in consistency.

3. Sift the flour with the Live Rite protein powder and half of the sugar you just blended.

4. Beat egg whites, water, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar together with an electric mixer until smooth.

Tip #8: Drink whey protein.

Whey protein, such as that in our LiveRite shakes, has been shown in many studies to have myriad health benefits including weight loss, fat loss, and muscle toning. It also decreases cravings, improves blood sugar control, and improves liver functioning.

Drink one LiveRite shake per day as a meal replacement or a post-workout snack. I have two per day because they are convenient, delicious, and full of protein, and afterwards I’m not hungry for about three hours!

Here are some shake recipes that you can try–or come up with your own! For all of these recipes, you can substitute light soy milk or lactose-free milk if you prefer.

Our LiveRite protein shakes are made of whey protein, and our exclusive formula is absolutely delicious! The benefits of whey protein don’t just stop at fat burning; our shakes offer a multitude of health benefits. Perhaps the question to ask is…what DON’T they do?

Vitamins and Enzymes

To begin with, our whey shakes are fortified with vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. They contain vitamin C and B vitamins which will help you metabolize the calories into energy rather than stored fat. The shake’s papain and bromelain enzymes content help to reduce inflammation and muscle soreness. These enzymes also help with the breakdown and digestion of calories consumed. Our LiveRite whey protein shakes also contain lipase, which helps specifically with the breakdown of fats. Our shakes are fortified with additional vitamin E, shown to improve heart, brain, and breast health and to improve circulation and respiratory fitness.
