protein party cupcakes…

a protein party in your mouth…

this recipe is dedicated to the birthday boys at camp hero fitness! :)

who doesn’t want a cupcake on their birthday?? yes, even personal trainers enjoy stuffing their face with a cupcake every once in a while! however with a national physique show less than two months away, i needed to come up with a new protein packed cupcake that wouldn’t jeopardize the shredded six-packs these guys have worked so hard for! so, here’s a cupcake that you don’t even have to feel guilty about bringing into the gym! okay, it actually gets even better…protein is (literally) the icing on top of this cupcake! for real. ;)
