Chocolate Protein Cake Summary

What I like about this recipe is that it's for cake bars, which can help prevent eating too much at once, which can be a concern if you're not following a good workout program.

Fortunately, for my guys in SHREDDED, treats like these cake bars are allowed -- encouraged! But according to the protocols outlined in the program, which enable the body to be less stressed, encourage healthy digestion while allowing clients to build muscle and get leaner.
