Besides for shakes, what else do you put protein powder in?

I'm curious what other tasty (or not-so-tasty) ways in how you consume protein powder. For instance, I've heard of a way to make vanilla (or whatever flavor your powder is) pudding using protein powder.

    I don't use protein powder daily, only when I am low, but I use it in:

    oatmeal

    Greek yogurt

    almond milk

    homemade protein bars

    I put it in my pancake batter and cream of wheat
  • Pancakes! I eat them once a week, they're so good. I basically put flour/oats, an egg, milk and protein powder til I get the right consistency. Pancakes are very customisable and oh so filling.
    I haven't done it yet but many people make protein fruit muffins.
    I used to make a big breakfast bake thing with oats, fruit, egg, protein and milk, baked in a casserole dish in the oven, then you can cut portions for breakfast or whatever.
    Also microwave protein mug cakes, I don't have a recipe but it's easy to find. Just don't overcook or it will taste horrible haha
    You (and I, I haven't tried any of these ideas yet :P) could also try protein balls (like raw balls), ice cream (yoghurt and protein, frozen) and cookies.
    Protein powder can be used in anything baked from my experience.

    I put some in my morning coffee, mix it into yogurt, put unflavoured protein powder into sauces and such, I add it to things I bake, pancakes, make protein bars/bites out of them, put it into oatmeal... there are SO many things other than shakes!
