Hi all. i am looking for some creative ways to get more protein in. I use protein drinks and shakes, but love variety and wonder if you have any ideas on recipes for protein balls, pancakes, muffins, etc that are not too complicated to make on your own. I have seen them listed in some food diaries and am hoping those that eat them can shed some light on how to make them. Thanks so much.

I use the Pumpkin Protein Muffin recipe from the recipes board. I either make pumpkin or banana nut (substitute 4 mashed bananas and 1/4 cup of walnuts for the spices and pumpkin puree) muffins--I LOVE them both! Taste just like real muffins.

I have made this in the past and they are good for on the go or protein packed snacks. The recipe is from OxygenMag.com
I usually just use whatever I have on hand in terms of veggies to add and use Canadian bacon instead of turkey bacon

•2 carrots, shredded
•1/2 red pepper, minced

•1/4 tsp oregano
•Dash sea salt and pepper

There are all kinds of variations of protein balls. I even have sunbutter protein balls in my fridge now. Almond or hazelnut butter is great, too.
Here is a recipe I have been using lately:

It doesn't make very many but it takes few ingredients and does the job! The whole site has great recipes using protein powder. I am always on the look out for protein ball recipes!0 -

Thanks for sharing. I have almond butter - not much of a fan, nothing beats real peanut butter IMHO - but this looks like a great way to use it!0 -
Not really a recipe exactly, but yesterday I read on the boards about mixing chocolate protein powder with greek yogurt and adding strawberries. I did this today and it was like chocolate pudding. So yummy and a ton of protein.
Those chocolate pb protein balls look really good, too.

I had protein ice cream for breakfast today. Actually i was trying use up the last of a protein powder that I really don't care for and only had time to do it this morning. Chucked it in my ice cream maker with some milk, greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sugar, and coconut extract. It came out so good, I had a bowl for breakfast. Kind of wish I had some now, but I'm at work until 7 am. LOL0

I made these after you posted it in another thread. I liked them. I replaced the cinnamon with vanilla and added some salt and tossed a bunch of blueberries in there. Yummy!0 -
