It's the little nugget that's going to save your snacks: this protein cake is the perfect alternative to industrial bars, and it's easy to see why... All you have to do is combine a good dose of Greek yoghurt for softness, a little whey for recovery, and let the red berries bring that juicy, tangy side we love. The trick that changes everything? Chia seeds, which hydrate the dough from the inside out, for a super airy result, far from the usual dry fitness cakes. It's simple, nutritious and, above all, ideal when you want to indulge yourself without pulling out all the pastry-making paraphernalia. Prepare as a batch for the week (or keep jealously for post-training), it's the perfect no-brainer recipe. Quick, balanced... and downright addictive ;)

FAQ ❓

What are the benefits of red fruit protein cake?

This cake is rich in protein thanks to whey and chia seeds, making it an excellent choice for athletes or those looking to boost their protein intake.
Yes, you can use any whey you like. Beware, however, that some wheys are sweeter than others. As ours is sweet, we haven't used any sweetener in the recipe. You can add a little agave syrup if you wish. Feel free to change the flavours of the cake, for example by using a chocolate whey and replacing the fruit with chocolate chips.
Best stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where it can be kept for up to 3 days.
Absolutely! You can use other fruits such as bananas for banana bread fans ;-)
