I’m a big fan of dessert, better choices, and protein.  When all of those things come together into a beautiful harmony, well it makes for one happy chica.  While perusing Instagram as part of my nightly bedtime routine, I came across some images of delicious protein brownies and cakes by Eat Me Guilt Free.  I just had to get my hands on some and it wasn’t long before I was tearing open a package I received that had several flavors to choose from.  Today I will focus on the Lemon Pound Cake.

Ingredients– Whey Protein Powder, Ground Roasted Organic Peanuts, Egg Whites, Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Stevia, Salt, Baking Soda, Sodium Benzoate, Citric Acid, Lemon Oil, Lemon Juice, Ascorbic Acid, Maltodextrin, Dehydrated Lemon Rinds.

Nutrition Facts (Calories 160 per cake)

Taste: The balance of lemon flavor was just right in this tasty little protein cake.  If there was a perfect cross between a slice of lemon pound cake from Starbucks and a healthy little protein cake with very low sugar, this would be it.  Included in the ingredients are dehydrated lemon rinds which I feel give it the perfect little kick of lemon with each bite.

Texture:  Light and airy, there is just enough crumble in this lemon pound cake.  There was no gooey or sticky feelings as I ate this treat.  The recommended shelf-life of the cakes from Eat Me Guilt Free is 4 weeks, with an additional 2 weeks added with refrigeration and 4 more with freezing.

The Bottom Line:

I enjoyed the flavor profile and texture of the Lemon Pound Cake from Eat Me Guilt Free.  I’m a girl who lives for chocolate desserts most of the time, but it was a refreshing step out of my sweet-tooth norm with this cake.  The nutritional details are solid, especially the very low amount of carbs/sugar.  If you every attempted to make the perfect mug cake at home and failed miserably, just save yourself some strife and buy some brownies and cakes from this company.
