1 cup shredded zucchini (124g)
2 tablespoons almond flour (28g)

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking pan or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg whites until lightly frothy. Stir in the chocolate whey protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder until fully incorporated.
Fold in the shredded zucchini, almond flour, and crumbled dark chocolate pieces, ensuring an even distribution. Sprinkle in the baking soda and a pinch of salt, and mix gently.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently smooth the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature as a nutritious, protein-rich treat.
