Microwave Lemon Blueberry Protein Mug Cake Recipe

This lemon blueberry protein mug cake cooks in under 90 seconds and delivers ~28g of protein.

Some days, protein feels easy. Other days, it’s the thing you remember after the fact.

If mornings are busy, it’s common to default to coffee and something quick, then try to “make up for it” later. The problem is that we need protein to support muscle maintenance and recovery—but the good news is that consistency matters more than perfection.

This Lemon Blueberry Protein Mug Cake is a simple way to make protein feel automatic.

It’s warm, single-serve, and ready in minutes in the microwave. Made with Previnex Nourify® PLUS Vanilla, it adds a meaningful protein boost along with vitamins, minerals, and functional nutrients that support everyday wellness.

The lemon keeps it bright, the blueberries add natural sweetness, and the Greek yogurt base helps it bake up with a better texture.

Why This Recipe Works

• High protein, low effort: Contains about 28g of protein per serving—comparable to a full chicken breast—but takes only 5 minutes to make, start to finish.

• Greek yogurt for structure: Greek yogurt adds extra protein and keeps the crumb moist and fluffy, closer to a baked cake than a microwaved one.

• Nourify® PLUS goes beyond protein: Unlike standard protein powders, Nourify® PLUS Vanilla also contributes vitamins, minerals, and functional nutrients that support everyday wellness and longevity.

• Use either fresh or frozen blueberries: This recipe works with fresh or frozen blueberries, whichever you have on hand.

Notes + Quick Tips

• Frozen blueberries: No need to thaw. Expect a slightly longer cook time.

• Don’t overcook: Stop when the center looks set but still slightly glossy. It will finish setting as it rests.

• Don't use a tiny mug: Use at least 12 oz to prevent overflow.
