Nasty Protein powder... HELP!

What make was the protein??

I had a similiar problem, different brand, but baby formula type taste:sick: I found just mixing it with 250 mls water and drinking it in one go helped.Less to get through.
Then I discovered that it makes the most beautiful vanilla flavoured porridge when added to the oats before cooking, you can add blueberries and strawberrys afterwards its a real treat.

I was thinking I could find a bar/ball recipe, kill it with cocoa and PB maybe LOL?? (calories are not a problem, it doesn't need to be low cal!)

Just made these up yesterday, TO DIE FOR! They're in the MFP food database as Sarah's Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Fudge.

1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar-free natural peanut butter
1 oz. baker's chocolate
2 ounces regular cream cheese, softened
1 cup granular sugar substitute or equivalent liquid
2 scoops whey protein powder (nutritional info for Syntrax Nectar Sweets - 0 carb)
1/2 tsp pure vanilla

Melt the butter, peanut butter, and chocolate together in the microwave and mix well.
Stir in the cream cheese until well blended and smooth.
Stir in the sweetener, then the whey protein powder and vanilla, and blend well.
Line a small baking dish with wax paper or nonstick foil.
Spread the fudge mixture in the pan and chill or freeze until set.
Cut into 24 squares. Store in the refrigerator or freeze.

Makes 24 pieces
Can be frozen

Here's one from my favorite low carb recipe site, Linda Sue's. Since she got it from someone else, I don't think she'd mind if I post it:

JENNY'S BETTER THAN BOXED LOW CARB PANCAKES
2 1/2 tablespoons vanilla whey protein powder *
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (see update below)
Pinch salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons water, optional (see update below) **
Oil or cooking spray, for the pan

Whisk all of the ingredients, except for the water and cooking spray, in a small bowl until smooth. Add up to 1 tablespoon of water if you'd like a thinner batter. Meanwhile, lightly grease a small nonstick skillet with oil or cooking spray and heat on medium. Pour in the batter and tilt the pan to spread the batter evenly over the bottom of the skillet. When bubbles appear all over the pancake and the batter on top looks like it's starting to set up carefully work a spatula around the edges and then under the pancake to flip it over. Cook until the second side is lightly browned. Don't let it get too dark or it will taste a little bitter. Serve with butter and low carb syrup, if desired (not included in the counts).

Makes 1 large pancake

* The carb counts for this recipe are based on whey protein powder that has 3 carbs per scoop (1/3 cup).

try shaking it up with almond or coconut milk instead of water.
and since calories aren't an issue, chocolate milk or something else may also hide the taste.
good luck! some of the powders are nastaaay.
one time I bought whey with powdered leafy vegetables in the mix. HOLY HELL that was bad!

I plan on trying this recipe today or tomorrow.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Protein Bars
http://dashingdish.com/recipe/pbj-protein-bars/

1/2 cup Protein powder ( vanilla)
1/4 cup Peanut flour (or PB 2)
1/2 tsp. Baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
2 T Applesauce, unsweetened
1/4 cup Skim milk (or milk substitute of choice)
1/4 cup Egg whites (or egg white substitute)
4-5 Packets stevia (or sweetener of choice to taste)

1/4 cup Low sugar/ No sugar added strawberry jelly or jam

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

Place all of the ingredients in a bowl, (except for the strawberry jelly), and whisk until everything is well combined. Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Drop jelly over the top of the batter, and swirl into batter.

Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until protein bars are set. Cut into 8 bars and enjoy!

I mix mine with unsweetened Coconut/Almond milk blend. If calories/carbs aren't an issue, try vanilla or chocolate flavored Coconut &/or Almond milk.

Plus sometimes I add PB2 chocolate to the vanilla flavors. Extra protein and a yummie mild chocolate peanut butter flavor.

Or add Ducan Hines frosting creation flavor packets (small packets of powdered flavor additives - not frosting itself) and make up Orangecreamcile, Cherry Vanilla or Almond Mocha. (But I'm not sure if you can find these out of the States, sorry)

You can add it to pancakes. Also, someone recently told me you can add it to Greek yogurt, and it is almost like eating pudding.

Gaspari do a pro biotic range that is tasty as hell!!! Although it's higher in cals then some others.

Normally add unsweetened almond milk, frozen banana, 10-15g PB and 1.5 scoops into a blender. Like drinking a milkshake!! :drinker:

Had one today so you can check my diary out for the macros, some powders are horrible but I have found gaspari, dynamtize and ON to be pretty good.

Ben.

Bump for later. Some good ideas of how to use the kind I bought....

Heres something that can help get your cals up to:
Ingredients: avocado, protein powder, egg, oil, pb

Slice an avacado into rings
Heat up coconut oil in frying pan
Mix half a scoop of whey with egg
Put rings in pan
Poor mix in rings
Eventually flip and top with peanut butter

Tada protein pancake in an avocado ring
