Other Recipes for Protein Powders

mstaser · June 2012

I made up a shake last night after a work out and realized I was pretty low on my daily intake for the day. Since I already had this shake made up I wondered what I could do with it. So I poured a bowl of cereal and used the shake on it instead of milk. It was actually VERY good. I got to thinking about what else this stuff could be used for.

Has anyone used the powder or shakes for any kind of meal or snack recipes?

Someone shared a cool recipe yesterday that she found on bodybuilding.com: Two egg whites and half a scoop of vanilla protein powder. Whip till smooth. Pour into small non-stick skillet and cook. It's a low-cal crepe and you can put whatever you want in it before folding the crepe and enjoy.

Those crepes sound great.

I looked at that link douglasmobbs posted and these recipes sound quick and easy. I will try them

Quick and Easy Brownie

2 scoops casein protein powder
1 teaspoon Stevia
water for consistency

Mix all into consistency of pudding, adding water slowly. Eat as is or microwave until it is cooked like a cake. Start with 30 seconds, check it, and keep adding 15 seconds until it is "cake like". It will puff up and then drop.

Protein Cake

2 scoops casein protein powder
½ - 1 cup oats
2 egg beaters
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons Stevia or to taste
2 teaspoons salt
cinnamon to taste
about 1 cup water (enough to give it a cake batter consistency)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine all ingredients, mix well, and pour into greased loaf pan. Bake 15 - 25 minutes, checking after 15 minutes.

dashingdish.com has several recipes that use protein powder. I put some in my oatmeal this morning and have also used it in my coffee.

I haven't acquired a taste for the stuff, but this thread should help. Thanks for posting!

Taste of these powders has always been a problem. But they are getting better. The stuff I get now from Complete Nutrition is actually very good. I have several half used containers in my pantry of stuff that I just couldn't stomach anymore.

I like to make a protein pancake-

2 egg whites
1/3 cup wheat bran cereal
1/3 cup rolled oats
3/4 scoop protein powder
a few tbsp of almond milk/soy milk/milk to bind everything together
cinnamin

Mix up and cook like a pancake. I top mine with natural peanut butter and banana. YUM!

This is a great high-protein bar that I found in a Hy-Vee (grocery store) magazine a few months ago. It's a great replacement for the processed food bars that I have bought in the past during training season. It's much cheaper and one batch makes 16 bars (enough for a week or so for DH and myself.)

I should point out (based on some of the mean/ judging comments about what other people eat/ make) I don't really want comments on the amount of sugar in this.

Let's take what we can use and leave the rest.

If you avoid sugar for whatever reasons, that's great, feel free to omit/ change/ ignore the recipe I like it because it gives me what seems to be a good recovery food in a very small package. It also has Milled Flaxseed, which has Omega 3s and fiber..very helpful to my overall health.

This Protein Pancake looks great!

Chocolote Protein powder for chocolate chip pancakes!

Just use a couple scoops of the protein powder in place of the same amount of bisquick or whatever you use. Then add chocolate chips, in moderation, of course...

I have been adding a scoop of chocolate protein powder to a cup of coffee lately and then shake it well in a container to mix it in. Makes for a nice coffee drink. No milk or sweetener needed. I also enjoy vanilla protein powder mixed into my oatmeal.

Going to try the pancake one this weekend, sounds good.
