A Weight Loss Influencer Who Lost 250 Pounds Shares Her ‘High-Protein’ Recipe For ‘Delicious’ Christmas Tree Cakes: ‘They’re So Cute’

Around this time of year, it’s hard to resist all of the famous festive Christmas cookies, cakes, and treats that get handed out. However, with this recipe, you might not have to.

One of the most popular treats around this time of year is the Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes, which might be delicious, but are a surefire way to lose track of your weight loss or health journey, given they’re high in calories and loaded with sugar. However, a weight loss content creator who lost 250 pounds, Samantha Milton, is sharing her ‘dupe’ recipe for a “high protein” recipe of the festive cakes, and fans are calling them “delicious.” Read more about how she makes them below.

To begin making her cakes, the content creator uses a famous cake mix hack, using a box of Betty Crocker white cake mix and Sprite Zero. However, she adds another element that makes her cakes higher in protein, so eating one can help keep you fuller for longer.

In her video, she starts by mixing one cup of the white cake mix with four scoops of cake batter flavored protein powder and one and 1/3rd cup of Sprite Zero, until she has a cake batter consistency. She then grabs a baking sheet and lines it with wax paper before pouring the batter onto the sheet and spreading it out evenly, before popping it into a 350°F oven for seven minutes.

Once her cake layer is cooked through, she takes it out of the oven and lets it cool before peeling the wax paper off.
