Protein Carrot Cake






     The Easter Bunny would be thrilled with this for breakfast, and Popeye would be proud too!  Health and strength in every single bite!  Each of the nine servings are only 136 calories, 7.5g carbs, 1.8g fiber, 5.7g net carbs, 11.4g protein and 6.7g fat.  There is not much sweetness to this Cake, but if you want to add 2 vs 1 ripe smashed medium Bananas, then feel free to add a little extra potassium to the mix!  Carrot on people!

Ingredients for 9 servings~

8oz/2 cups grated fresh Carrots (I cheated and bought a pre grated bag, up to you.  BTW, 2 cups is alot, so feel free to add less if desired)

1or 2 ripe smashed medium Bananas, according to taste

2 extra large Eggs

3/4 cups Egg Whites

2 scoops Quest Vanilla Protein Powder

1/2 cup Almond Flour

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Baking Powder

1 teaspoon Vanilla

1/4 scant cup chopped Walnuts, reserve a few for the top if desired

     Add all ingredients to mixing bowl, blend well, reserve a few nuts for garnish if desired.  Pour into parchment lined 8X8, garnish with reserved nuts, bake at 350 for 33 minutes.  Enjoy  :)
