This little gem is here to save snack time: this protein cake is the perfect alternative to store-bought bars, and it's easy to see why... All you have to do is combine a good amount of Greek yoghurt for moisture, a little whey for recovery, and let the red berries add the juicy, tangy flavour we love. The trick that changes everything? Chia seeds, which hydrate the batter from the inside for a wonderfully airy result, unlike the usual somewhat dry fitness cakes. It's simple, nutritious and, above all, ideal when you want to treat yourself without bringing out all your baking equipment. Make it in a batch for the week (or keep it all to yourself for after training); it's the ultimate no-fuss recipe. Quick, balanced... and downright addictive ;)

FAQ ❓

What are the benefits of red berry protein cake?

This cake is rich in protein thanks to the whey and chia seeds, making it an excellent choice for athletes or anyone looking to increase their protein intake.
Yes, you can use any whey you like. Keep in mind, though, that some varieties are sweeter than others. Since ours is sweetened, we haven't used any sweetener in the recipe. You can add a little agave syrup if you wish. Feel free to change the flavour of the cake, for example by using chocolate-flavoured whey and replacing the fruit with chocolate chips.
It's best stored in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 3 days.
Absolutely! You can use other fruits, such as bananas, for banana bread fans ;-)
