Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The mix comes in two mouth-watering flavours, natural chocolate and salted caramel. Plus, it’s vegetarian and packed with ingredients to help boost your next workout. As for what it’s made from, the mug cake mix combines whey protein, micellar casein, and egg white protein for a delicious way to gain your daily protein requirement. It’s also a great source of fibre thanks to added inulin.
The recipe is whipped up in just a minute. Simply combine 70ml of water or milk with 50g of powder, mix to form a paste and pop in the microwave for 40-50 seconds until the cake has risen. Although we’re sure it will be tempting to dive right in, we do suggest you let it cool for 30 seconds before tucking in and enjoying.
So, when you’re next looking for something sweet after dinner or wanting a new and exciting way to get your protein in, a mug full of cake might be exactly what you need. Delicious, nutritious and made in less than a minute, protein snacks really don’t get better than this.
