Generation Iron Protein Packed Cheat Meal

Chocolate maple bacon cupcakes for the win.

We all know that a bodybuilding diet is very strict (and that cheat meals are truly valued when they come by… because it just tastes so good). But who says that your cheat meal has to be completely devoid of anything good for your bodybuilding diet? Look, we’re not saying that a cheat meal will be good for you – but if you could pack in some mass amounts protein then at least you’re still working towards making some gains. That’s where these delicious chocolate maple bacon cupcakes come in.

Now normally cupcakes don’t have a whole bunch of protein but this recipe has a little secret ingredient that helps inject it with a powerhouse of protein. It’s called Mancakes – a pancake/cupcake baking mix that is specifically designed to give you tons of protein. You’re food life doesn’t always have to be bland and boring. Adding protein into this kind of baked cheat meal helps. Here’s how to put it all together:
