🍫🔥 3-INGREDIENT, 5-MINUTE CHOCOLATE LAVA CREAM OF RICE! 🤤 POV: You want to build muscle, fuel your workout, AND eat something that tastes like dessert. 👀🍫 A couple of years ago, as someone who was TERRIFIED of carbs, cream of rice was the LAST thing you’d find in my pre-workout routine. 😂 But after realizing how much better my workouts feel when I fuel them with carbs, everything changed! 💪 Here’s why this chocolate lava bowl is more than just a delicious snack: ⚡ Cream of Rice: An easily digestible source of carbs to fuel your training. Having 20–50g of carbs before a workout can be a great starting point! 🍫 Cacao Powder: Adds that rich chocolate flavour, plus compounds called flavanols that are being studied for their health benefits. ☕ Coffee: Provides caffeine, which can help improve exercise performance, focus, and endurance. 🧂 Salt (optional): Provides sodium, an essential electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and supports muscle function. The best part? You get a delicious, chocolatey pre-workout snack that tastes like a cheat meal without the crazy calories! 🤯 👇 SAVE THIS RECIPE FOR YOUR NEXT LEG DAY! 🍫🔥 📝 INGREDIENTS * 1 scoop cream of rice * 1.5 cups brewed coffee ☕ * 2 tbsp cacao powder 🍫 Optional add-ins: * 1/4 tsp salt 🧂 * 1/4 tsp cinnamon ✨ Optional topping: * 15g chocolate 🍫 (because why not?!) 👨‍🍳 DIRECTIONS 1️⃣ Bring the brewed coffee to a boil in a pot. 2️⃣ Gradually whisk in the cream of rice until combined, then mix in the cacao powder and any optional add-ins. 3️⃣ Cook according to your cream of rice instructions, stirring until thick and creamy. 4️⃣ Transfer to a bowl, add your chocolate topping, let it melt into that chocolatey goodness, and DIG IN! 🤤🔥 📊 MACROS (without toppings) 🔥 157 calories 💪 6.5g protein ⚡ 29g carbs 🥑 2g fat Who said you can’t eat chocolate lava cake before a workout?! 😏🍫 Follow @the_macro_cook for more macro-friendly recipes that taste like cheat meals! ❤️ #CreamOfRice #HighProteinRecipes #PreWorkoutMeal #MacroFriendly #FitnessRecipes
