I bought peanut butter whey protein powder from truenutrition.com and the taste is pretty good, but I find it a little overpowering on it's own (just mixed with water or milk). Any ideas of what to do with it? I made a peanut butter honey and banana smoothie that was pretty good, just wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Thanks!

    I've never had whey protein, but what about a frappucino? You could blend it with ice, coffee, and whatever flavorings like vanilla or chocolate that you want.

    Mmmm, add sugar free chocolate or white sugarfree chocolate.

    Haha I know right? I've added peanut butter to my smoothies that also had protein shakes in them and was a bit disappointed in the additional calories added by PB. There's nothing special about my smoothies. Apples, milk (optional), apple cider (optional aww heck all the ingredients are optional), protein powder, whatever veggies are lying around. I've done spinach in the past and also did celery for a while. Something to sip slowly whenever I get a craving or feel like using up some veggies

    Why not make peanut butter protein "cookies"?

    2 cups natural peanut butter (or almond butter if you prefer)
    2 scoops protein powder
    1/2 c raw honey
    1 egg

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Whisk peanut butter and egg together in a bowl until smooth.
    Add in protein powder & honey, continuously stirring.
    Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

    Peanut Butter Spinach smoothies are awesome! Always get weird looks and comments about the green smoothie, but seriously very tasty! I also made a recipe for an oatmeal, PB, spinach smoothie. You could easily leave out the PB and add PB protein powder for something like that.

    Good luck!

    Cookies, bread, oatmeal, make protein balls with it. Protein powders have endless applications.
