    made another batch, this time adding another scoop of protein powder, and 1/4 cup of cacao powder. The latter doesn't really do much though. and this time completely gluten free!

    I'll bet if you used chocolate protein powder along with the cocoa you'd get more chocolate flavor. That would be awesome with sour cherries for your fruit!!

    I love making different smoothies!
    My favorite right now is this.
    1-2 cups of kale or spinach
    1 banana
    1cup blackberries
    2 tablespoons natural peanut butter or pbfit (if I want a lower cals)
    1 scoop vanilla protein
    2 cups almond milk.

    This makes two smoothies. I always have to make enough for the hubby or he gets sad. Lol

    I hate mixing my protein powder with water or milk and drinking it that's why I usually have it in the form of pancakes or mixed with Greek yogurt and cinnamon. My recipe for the pancakes can't get any simpler and easier(however it's delicious it's my favorite meal of the day
    Wow excuse my retardness I didn't see I cut out the most important part of my reply- the recipe!!! Anyway here's how I make the pancakes:
    - 1 scoop of your protein powder
    - 1 whole egg or only the egg white if you want less calories
    - 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
    mix it all with as much water as it needs, my advice though would be to add a little bit and see if the consistency is right

    How many does this make?
    Do they freeze/re-heat well? (Would like to make one day for the week)

    yes true!!! so lower temperature is definitely better but the muffins need to settle well when they just come out of the oven... I was shaking the silicon mold to remove them forcefully and some broke :(

    not so much a recipe, but orange juice, 4 berry blend and chocolate protein powder in a smoothie. Tastes like a chocolate orange!

    What's all your take on baking with protein powder? I've heard that baking whey protein denatures the protein, which makes it somewhat useless as a protein snack if I'm understanding correctly?

    What's the max temperature (F or C) that whey protein can be cooked to?

    but think about it, we all cook our meat and the protein is still intact right? read this in another forum now:

    "proteins CANNOT be rendered inactive by heating. the amino acid chains cant be broken by heating either. in order to destroy the amino acid profiles you would have to hydrolyze the proteins which is something you're almost entirely incapable of doing in a typical kitchen. pineapple juice (bromelain) and papaya (papain) are hydrolyzing enzymes, but enzymes target specific amino acid residues, so the most these will do is tenderize your meats. the most that will happen is the protein unfolds into a linear chain to be broken down enzymatically by your body."

    makes sense....

    people say 170 degrees max. (340 degrees). I tried higher temperature with my previous muffin but it didn't make it rubbery. all depends on the moisture and fat you have in the dough I think :)
