Three hours after getting back from the grocery store, you’ve meticulously weighed out and precooked every meal for the entire week ahead. The inside of your fridge looks like a centerfold spread for Tupperware porn. But whether you care to admit it, there’s still a big void that needs filling: the sweet stuff. Even after all your daily protein needs are met, those lingering urges torment you long into the night… But nay, you’ve mastered the art of sweet-treat discipline. Oh, look how you’ve grown!Here’s the truth: you don’t need to deprive yourself. Dessert gets buff from this morning onward. It’s like having your cake and eating it too, except for the fact it’s a cake made almost entirely of protein and you should now consider scheduling a belated birthday party for yourself. Or just eat dessert for breakfast with these 5 tasty options.
