Favorite protein powder recipes?

I like to add a scoop to my homemade oatmeal along with a dash of cinnamon and it is delicious! I use vanilla Ultimate Muscle Provider.

Could also add "nut-free" to your Google search! Or go on Yummly- you can specify what you don't want in a recipe and what you do.

Might sounds crazy, but I eat mine as a popcorn topping. Great source of both fiber and protein.

||| Protein Popcorn |||

Ingredients:

○　40 g Orville Classic Popcorn (120 kcal)
○　scoop of protein powder (I use chocolate, soy or whey.) (75 kcal)
○　15 g honey (45 kcal)
○　2 ~ 3 grams olive oil/canola spray (15 kcal)
○　sea salt

①　make popcorn on the stove. key here is to cut out as much oil as possible, which is what kills calorie-wise.
②　drizzle runny honey on popped kernels in still-hot pot. the heat will help the honey disperse to as many kernels as possible, which is what will make the protein powder/salt stick.
③　shake shake shake!
④　add protein powder and salt

The protein in conjunction with the fiber will keep you /full/. It's also amazingly delicious, as long as you like the taste of your protein powder.

Thanks for the popcorn idea! Will have to try That!

My lazy breakfast is basically just mixing protein powder with 175g of low fat greek yoghurt and a generous serving of cottage cheese
It's almost like eating slightly gooey chocolate cheese cake mix

I have to admit , i am the only one in the world who does actually like the protein shakes.

i like yogurt with vanilla powder, my coffee with chocolate, add plain to soup

that said ,
banana and flax and yogurt and vanilla is good

I like to add a scoop or two of vanilla or chocolate ice cream and two tablespoons of peanut butter to 12 ounces of whole or 2% milk and two scoops of protein powder.

1) pour 1 cup of milk into glass
2) pour 2 scoops of protein powder into glass
3) stir
4) drink

i don't understand why a protein drink has to include any other ingredients. :huh:

Or you can sub almond milk for regular milk for those have regular milk issues and can't stand soy milk.

1) pour 1 cup of milk into glass
2) pour 2 scoops of protein powder into glass
3) stir
4) drink

i don't understand why a protein drink has to include any other ingredients. :huh:

sometimes people (i.e. me) buy the most disgusting protein powder known to mankind and need to mask the god awful flavour with something else.

Sadly I've tried so so many recipes with protein powder only to be really disappointed with the taste and finished product. Then I just end up mad because i just wasted perfectly good protein powder on it. Ditching the whole thing in the garbage. I mainly stick to shakes, protein pancakes for this reason. I do have a really good recipe for protein pumpkin squares that's a hit with the family. If i have a chance I will post it for you. They are just slightly sweet but do the trick if you need something to take that edge off.

Hey there!

I’ve cooked with protein powder loads of times and it’s a little tricky. Often times the product comes out rubbery or super dry. Here is a recipe that I created using protein powder that I use all the time when I have the urge for something sweet that doesn't come out tasting like chalky rubber.

Banana Protein Muffins

Ingredients:
2 really ripe bananas, divided
3 eggs
3 Tbsp oil (I use Vegetable Oil)
¼ cup heavy cream
¼ cup light cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla (or to taste)
5 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
3 scoops protein powder (I use banana flavored powder)
¾ cup coconut flour (or any kind of flour you like)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 190C (375F)

Take 1 banana and mash it until it can’t be mashed anymore and is liquidy. Then add the eggs, oil, heavy cream, cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Mix well.

In another bowl combine baking powder, cinnamon, protein powder, and coconut flour.

Slowly stir the dry mix into the wet mix.

With the remaining banana divide it into thirds. You do this by cutting the banana in half then pushing your index finger into the middle of the banana will have it split into thirds (here is a video showing what I mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvDvE3A1xus) . Take the strips of banana and cut them into small, but chunky, pieces. Stir the chunky banana pieces into the mix.

Put cupcake wrappers into baking tin and fill them about ¾ of the way with the batter. Cook for about 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

Extra Info:
-The banana chunks are important in that it will keep the muffins from becoming dry.
-The cinnamon and vanilla are to taste. You can add more or less.
-You have to check on the muffins while they are in the oven since some ovens are different. If the muffins are browning too fast on the tops cover them with tin foil until the end.
-You can always have add-in to this recipe (e.g. raisins or flax seed)
-I eat the muffins with either sugar-free jelly or peanut butter.

Makes about 14 muffins
