Low-Carb Chocolate Protein Muffins - Lean Body Lifestyle

[everysixseconds]

Hey Michael, i just wanted to thank you ma friend, the muffins turned out great, it's crazy how unhealthy they taste even though I can eat them any time and anywhere, especially in class and I don't gotta worry about going catabolic!

[ItzReaperr]

LOOKS DELICIOUS!

[DollDisasterx]

" fill up each hole "

thats what she said. 

[993awad]

Nice video! by the way my sister found this fantastic weight loss program called: Impact 790 Diet and dropped 16 pounds within just a month. I cannot remember the actual site just Google it.

[starbabes2309]

mate please use some decongestant

[MrXtreme981]

can I make this without protein powder? I'm only 13

[FedUpWFat]

i have a question. im trying to LOSE WEIGHT and build lean muscle at the same time. would you recommend a high protein diet for that. also what is the difference between whey and soy protein.

[TheStellaGraham]

Tried this differently with vanilla whey powder, vanilla essence and blueberries = yum.

[Mzhellraiser]

I would like to know those mini muffins you just made would that be 3 of those to equal a serving?

[PJgetsFit]

@Mzhellraiser The info on the screen for this vid says 3 med sized and he said himself said they would be 3-4 muffins in larger muffin tin. Hope this helps.

[MonicaLee1995]

can you use any kind of protein powder?

[greatfruitlover]

Proteins denature at high temperatures. I have never really understood that people skipped basic biochem..

[countach27]

What's the point of making a dessert if you're not gonna go all out and make it with regular ingredients?

[MarkQP]

@countach27

its healthy

[Cetrix]

mine came out with no taste really. i used natural sugar tho. also it had a spongy texture.

[areyouquitemad]

Wow! You are so creative!! I wish my boyfriend would take more interest in healthy eating!

[blair992]

these taste amazing!

[deathraps]

So which kind of protein powder should I choose. I love all ur recipes want to make the fudge.. which one should I buy. I am a beginner and didnt use any protien powder yet thanks alot..!

[deathraps]

what kind of whey protien would you reccomend I havnet taken any kind of protien yet. which one should I go look for in GNC low calories.. ofcourse thanks

[leanbodylifestyle]

@deathraps - Save your money and shop at bodybuilding(dot)com or another place online. GNC tends to push their own products because they get paid more and they are always way overpriced.

[TheMrStranger1]

@leanbodylifestyle may i know what a TRUVIA is please?

[zakiboy100]

@TheMrStranger1 its a sweetner that contains stevia

[bodebldr2000]

@deathraps Big Blend by Betancourt Nutrition is amazingly good. Chocolatte is damn good and would work great with this recipe

[powemetal4life]

man would u mind about writting the ingredients?

[ToFierce2handle]

Anyone tried these ?

[iPinoyBaller]

It didn't really taste good, too dry.

[babychanel21]

cant i just get fat free cake mix ;[

[AlbertaBeefy]

@babychanel21 next time you look at a "fat-free cake mix" or anything else "Fat-Free" that's a dessert or treat, look at how much SUGAR is in it.

Fat - Free products quite often have MORE sugar than the full-fat version. Heck, I was in Wal-Mart the other days and they had this big label - " Fat Free!!" on ... JELLY BEANS.

[Vindix007]

4 fat people prefer McDonald's Muffin.

[Drduffie214]

how many grams of fat is it?

[JF5905]

i love u.

[FeverK0]

Okay this recipe is awesome however mine came out reallly dry :( ?

What is the reason behind this?

Thanks in advance,

Yavuz.

[bustfer07]

you my friend are a genies.

[FreeZeMusic1]

Is it okay to add soya based protein powder as well? Or is whey protein powder the only option?

[curry33343]

Making them as we speak ... Dymatize protein

[paulioj101]

These muffins are the bomb Michael, real good! It makes a change to the Whey Protein sandwiches ive been eating as of late lol. (they aren't as bad as they sound) kinda like nutella sandwiches only less caloric!

[achilles1878]

@IrishRhavin, sounds like a good idea. Let me know how you go. I also heard adding some fruit can make it more moist so I'll give that a go too. probably even peanut butter would be good to use, having healthy fats and all

[IrishRhavin]

@achilles1878 So I used olive oil, peanut butter and a whole egg to add fats, it was moist but a bit too firm, which i blame on my lack of actually measuring anything, from that experience i'd say it'd turn out great if ur more precise and ur not using the horrible protein powder i use :P Best of luck with it

[achilles1878]

@IrishRhavin sounds good. I'll give that a try as well but probably without the olive oil since the peanut butter ad whole egg would provide enough fats. What recently worked for me very well was adding 1 Cup of oatmeal, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp cinnamon, 2 - 3 scoops of protein powder of choice, 2 - 3 heaping tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 eggwhites (or 1 egg), 1 C unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 tsp stevia powder (optional), 1/4 C milk of choice. They came out really moist and sweet :)

[psalas0378]

@achilles1878 Your version sounds alot tastier, and healthier if u use organic free range eggs and raw milk or an alternative like almond milk. also replacing the peanut butter with almond butter. but I personally like peanut butter better for the taste. also got to give it up to leanbodylifestyle for giving us the base recipe.....we can always change stuff up for our individual tastes. good job.

[achilles1878]

First tried it with Cocao powder and it was gross due to it being too bitter. But then tried it with Cocoa powder and it was much better, no bitterness but the mixture is a bit dry. If you can come up with another video with a new batch to give it more moisture, i would appreciate it

[IrishRhavin]

@achilles1878 I believe, from researching after failed recipes myself, that its actually fat that makes a cake moist, so maybe adding in some healthy fats might do the trick? I'm going to try this thursday and i'll add in olive oil and see what the result is and let ya know

[MzBarbiiebella]

Wow , I love u so much for what u do. I hope that it teaste good :) keep it up and much love too u .

[DriigoHBS]

Well i tired it, but they poofed up and flattened horribly... =(

[umarmaxmas]

man you are a revolution in my life, i have watched so many of your videos and my god you are simple and very very tasty, i have been training for a while now, but either had to resist or suffer consequences. but not anymore - courtesy of mr micheal.

btw if thats your pic in the start, you are getting better day by day.

man i am hooked to coca cola, and its quite hot where i live and nothing quenches my thirst better than coke, and i know its horrible if you wana go lean. any help?

[IrishRhavin]

@umarmaxmas So i saw this comment yday and then i was thinkin, flavored sparkling water, it has so much less sugar and still has that thirst quenching "ahh" factor

[jgq85]

Question:

Can you add cherry or vanilla extract

[MrGreenOwl]

I dont get you why use so low carbs, carbs are good for recovery combined to protein imo

[jgq85]

@MrGreenOwl

I'm on low-carb because Greg Plitt is on low carbs. I've seen his body and it's very impressive.

[yoferen]

looks awesome!! gotta try it!! question- whats the dif between stevia and truvia?

[Racemark123]

You should start a food company that sells delicious baked goods that are high protein-low carb for bodybuilders.

[Hotnog123]

Do you have to use just egg whites? What will happen if you use the yolks too?

[AmplifyVids]

why do you avoid carbs in a lot of your recipes? Don't you want carbs especially after a workout to replenish your glycogen stores?

[rubixgod]

these always come out dry when i make them :(

[narezul]

why the yogurt? just for nutritional fluffing?

[darkblade190]

You listened... Sweet!



[rkm424]

Dayum Michael, I need someone like you in my kitchen! It's just a big, big shame that my parents won't let me get protein powder (hopefully, not just yet) but I'm sure I can always leave the protein powder out (if it doesn't make too big of a difference) if I want to try this anyway.

Thank you so much :)

[DaPartyAnimal1]

@rkm424 Yeah my parents won't let me get protein power either.. I wonder why 0.0 .. Well my dad just says I don't need it at my age.. oh well

[angel11811]

you should be a youtube partner for sure

[narezul]

@angel11811 i thought he was?

[angel11811]

@narezul i dont know if he is , but if he isnt he definately should , all im saying lol

[Benno828282]

Great job, you make eating healthy like we are not missing out on anything.

[adronos]

Hey Michael! Great vids! Can I ask you, do you know if there is any sort of low fat chocolate in the market since I don't just have a sweet tooth but its also selective(damn..lol). Anyway thx again.

[TheNubbbler]

These things are keen!

[Lupercio93]

Yayy

[PatsRDaBest1283]

Mike ive been watching your videos and never commented, just feel like i need to say thank you for all the effort you put into all these videos. I use a lot of the recipes you made and they really help me out when it comes to getting 6 pack abs

[austinfry2]

30g of protein per muffin??!!

[mgblue]

i would destroy you

[0680496]

i dont get how this entire recipe has only 30g of protein....the protein powder alone has 30g of protein + 2 egg whites which has 7g of protein + 2tbs greek yogurt which has around 4g....anyways great recipe and very good snack idea to take it to school with me.

[f0rgotten0newut]

@0680496 i think the thing is that its more than one serving

[dcurelaw]

I'm making these TONIGHT!!

[CSQUAR3DsBaCk]

Isn't this just like making a protein brownie???

[bubblelink47]

tried these... ehhhhhh

[craziestlobo19]

@bubblelink47

Let me guess,

Tasted like cardboard huh? ha

[bubblelink47]

@craziestlobo19 more like rubber.. i think i did something wrong along the way, ha

[craziestlobo19]

@bubblelink47 No I'm sure you did it right.

I tried a similar recipe that he did. The other brownie in a bowl one. Tasted horrible.

[Dy699]

can i use flour instead of protein powder?

[bubblelink47]

@Dy699 if you want virtually no protein and a lot more carbs, sure.

[craziestlobo19]

@Dy699 Sure you can,

but expect for these to no longer be "Low Carb/Healthy" brownies

[nairb2693]

mine came out spongy and gross. ick

[cupofrice]

I understand your channel is called leanbodylifestyle but can you please do some bulking recipes?

[austinfry2]

@cupofrice i agree man cause once summer hits im going on a bulk

[HerbSmoulder]

Micheal could you make more recipes without protein powder ? could i replace the chocolate protein powder with egg whites ?

[kevluvzchips]

@HerbSmoulder He's already made loads that can be done without protein powder. Don't stress out too much if he posts one that requires it, just watch another one of his videos.

[Kalashnikovkira]

Wont the protein powder make them really dry and rubber like?

[wrusst]

will this work with 0 fat natural yoghurt?

[Xxrugbyplayer757]

Why dont you have more views your videos are great!

[3greviews]

That looks REALLY good.

Thanks man!

[uggy12345]

when u mention the temperature is it degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit?

thanks

[leanbodylifestyle]

@uggy12345 - Fahrenheit.

[LTMagic21]

@uggy12345 the muffins would fucking explode i he was cooking in 350 degrees celsius hahahaha

[XxStayFrosty]

if i want to add oats what else will I need to add so it cooks right?

[xFaruzx]

I'm okay with this.

[openuniverse2003]

AGAIN with the non-sticking cooking spray! Well, thank god you chose cooking instead of graffiti for your spraying skills.

[MrEtisimo]

Hey Michael i would really appreciate a response on this one. For some odd reason when i use protein powder in my recipes like pancakes or muffins etc, the end product always ends up abnormally dry.. Do you have any ideas of why or can you recommend a cheap protein powder that doesn't dry up the recipe? Because the Elite one that you use is a little too pricey for me :(

[IrishRhavin]

@MrEtisimo always have the same problem myself

[XxBakerxX72]

@MrEtisimo I use body fortress protein and have that problem to

[TheMrHeath91]

@MrEtisimo I personally use PhD Synergy, and usually it all works out pretty well.

[HanifProductionz]

when i see videos from "leanbodylifestyle" come up in my sub box i JIZZ!

[Bonnie90505]

Love the recipe, this is awesome, that you use Truvia or Stevia, Splenda is all chemicals to me.. I am a low carber, and it always help to try new recipes, do you ever use coconut oil in any of your recipes? My you Tube channel shows alot of good healthy benefits from coconut oil

Good Job!

[tuffydoodle]

Those look great! I have all the ingredients and will make them today. Even my yogurt is fresh. And thanks for the calorie count. I always figure them out on my own but it's nice to already have it done for me! Great job!

[LuxuriousLuxembourg]

not gona lie i would eat chocolate muffins daily and lost 22 pounds in a months time while doing cardio daily and eating more green no joke. it's good for u. i didn't do it like he did just normal muffins!!! but omg!!! EAT!!!

[allriseblue]

how old are u michael? great videos btw, i really appreciate these videos. thanks a lot

[bonananan]

Stevia is not available in europe, is there any other way to get that sweet flavour? i've tried apples and blueberrys but are there more options?

Great recipe, keep it up! :)

[uhatekara]

@bonananan Might just have to use a small amount of raw honey, it won't take much, it's very sweet, but account for the kcals.

[MercifulMotion]

@bonananan truvia.

[nairb2693]

@bonananan splenda

[Issaquan5]

@bonananan agave nectar. Low glycemic

180 calories

30g protein

8g carbs

[nosaakpata]

@leanbodylifestyle Big thanks for adding the nutritional info. I know it may be a bit of a drag for you but it really does increase the initiative for people to try your recipes having an idea what the nutritional info is. Thanks again.

[leanbodylifestyle]

@nosaakpata - Not a problem. It's comments like this that make the little extra effort on my part way worth it. Thanks for watching my videos.
