Healthy Chocolate Cake

Healthy Chocolate Cake

A healthy chocolate cake is something we’ve all dreamt of but never imagined could be real…but the day we’ve all been waiting for is here!

Kissed Earth has developed their very own chocolate cake using their Replenish Vanilla Protein Powder. Before we get into how to bake this delicious chocolate cake, let’s get into the details about this star product.

What is Kissed Earth Replenish Vanilla?

In short, this product is a pea & fava protein that tastes really good! But we want to know what is in it and what makes it so beneficial.

The Replenish products are made with organic pea and fava protein, magnesium and amino acids, which makes it vegan-friendly and extremely nutritious. The active ingredients help assist with muscle recovery and repair, whilst improving endurance and stamina. The formula is full of iron, fibre and probiotics, meaning it’s great for your post pilates or gym refuel. 

We would recommend using 1 scoop of Replenish Powder in 300ml of water for that post workout refuel…or add it to your chocolate cake recipe for a yummy treat!
