I noticed that the meringues were tinted yellow, I think this is due to the protein powder. These were not like your conventional sugary meringue but tasted like a great alternative and went really well topped with the muffin and gave it that little bit of sweetness. You could even crumble the muffin and the meringue into a bowl of fat free yoghurt for a really tasty healthy treat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8809\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-61.jpg\" alt=\"Lemon Meringue Protein Cupcakes - BULK POWDERS\" width=\"758\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-61.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-61-533x246.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-61-640x296.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-61-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8808\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-7.jpg\" alt=\"Lemon Meringue Protein Cupcakes - BULK POWDERS\" width=\"758\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-7.jpg 758w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-7-533x246.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-7-640x296.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.bulk.com\/uk\/the-core\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/protein-cupcakes-7-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"..\/..\/cook-it-your-whey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cooking with whey<\/a>\u00a0and trying some recipes yourself, why not give these <strong>Lemon Meringue Protein Cupcakes<\/strong> a bash? <strong>#CookItYourWhey #BulkBakes<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christie, of Christie&rsquo;s lifestyle, received a baking bundle containing a selection of our Pure Whey Protein&trade; flavours, as well as our popular and versatile Liquid Egg Whites.
