I usually make pancakes , I sometimes add a bit of cottage cheese you can't even taste them makes them more fluffy and feels you up0
-
put into greek yogurt to give it more flavor... put very little water in chocolate powder it until you make it the consistency of peanut butter and make a peanutbutter chocolate protein powder sandwich... or for that matter just make it into a sludge/spread for numerous things like rice cakes or put oats in it0

This recipe for banana bread is excellent. Make it with 1 cup of flour and a 1/2 cup of vanilla protein powder. Tasty!! I've also made this with 3/4 cup of cooking Splenda instead of sugar. My go to protein snack.0 -
8 oz unsweetened cashew milk
1 tablespoon of pb2 (powered peanut butter)
1 tablespoon of hersey's unsweetened cocoa powder
1 scoop of chocolate protien powder

Tastes like a Reese cup and 160-180 calories depending on your protien mix0 -

I hate mixing my protein powder with water or milk and drinking it that's why I usually have it in the form of pancakes or mixed with Greek yogurt and cinnamon. My recipe for the pancakes can't get any simpler and easier(however it's delicious it's my favorite meal of the day0

Protein fluff!!!!!
It's weirdly my fav food right now!!!! Kinda ice creamy milkshake. A oldie but a goodie.
Makes one serving at roughly 214 calories depending on size banna and brand of powder.
One frozen banna chopped
One scoop whey protein flavour of choice
1/3 cup of almond milk (for milk shake consistency use chilled, for ice cream use frozen almond milk cubes.)
Feel free to add in pb2/ peanut butter or vanilla essance or choc chips. I like choc orange whey, choc chips and peanut butter this week.
Whizz up in blender. I like it ice creamy after a hard work out.takes about two mins to make cools you down and makes forever to eat. Mmmmm.

Still struggling to make delicious cookies with high protein/low calories... My aim is 100cals / 10g protein per cookie but don't think I can do it!!0

Pretty basic shake recipe but this is what I've been doing for breakfast and I love it:
1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
1 small frozen banana (or 1/2 large banana)
1 scoop chocolate protein powder
1 tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
+ a few ice cubes and a pinch of xantham gum
Comes out to about 270 calories for me but depending on the brands you are using it will be different
I'm thinking of replacing some of the almond milk with greek yogurt to make it even thicker0 -
Those muffins look sooooo good!
I'm struggling to find a protein powder that I like, What are some of your favorites?0 -

Small banana
Udo oil blend
100ish mls fat free milk

It'll say how many grams per scoop on the package of protein powder, I've seen them anywhere from 28g to 35g per scoop, it really just depends on the brand you get0 -
@Yoyo_Fitness - I looked up the recipe for those muffins on your IG - for cooking instructions it only says 5 minutes at 220 and then "the rest" at 190 - doesn't say how long to cook at 190 degrees. Please, can you fill me in? I want to try them!0

It's Instagram
and I made the muffins today, I couldn't wait! I just experimented on the time.
I made them with white chocolate chips and 1 cup of frozen raspberries for my fruit, and they're divine. I cooked them 5 minutes at 425* and then 15 min at 375* and they came out just a touch dark, I'd probably reduce it to 12-13 minutes at 375 next time (she's working in metric/Celsius, so 220 degrees = 425 F, and 190 = 375 F, in case you're not working in C. )
Here's her recipe, copied and pieced together from the comments on her Instagram photos:
1 cup wholemeal flour (whole wheat or oat flour, etc)
1/4 cup almond flour
4 egg whites, beaten until fluffy
1/2 cup plain, non fat Greek yoghurt
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium banana, peeled and mashed
3 scoops of whey protein powder
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1.5 teaspoon baking powder
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup chopped fruit (like sour cherries, etc)
1/4 cup buttermilk (you can use 1/4 c almond milk with 1 Tbsp of lime juice to make "buttermilk")
100g chopped dark chocolate
Preheat oven to 425 (220) degrees. Prepare two 12-cavity muffin tins by either lining with silicone liners or coating each well with cooking spray; set aside.
Place Greek yogurt, applesauce, vanilla, mashed banana and buttermilk in a blender and blend thoroughly.
Combine wholemeal flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and mix well.
Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until incorporated.
Add the chopped fruit and chocolate.
Beat egg whites until fluffy, then gently stir into the muffin mixture.
Portion out into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake at 425 (220) degrees for 5 mins, then reduce heat to 375 (190) degrees and bake an additional 12-15 minutes, until done.
My notes:
- I expected it to make 12 muffins, but it made 24
- I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- My 1 cup of fruit was 140g of frozen raspberries
- 100g of Nestle Premier White Baking Chips
- My protein powder added up to 87g for 3 scoops
- 107g of mashed banana
- For the buttermilk I used 8g powdered dry buttermilk, which I added to the dry ingredients, and 1/4c water, which I added to the blender mixture.
- Oh yeah, and my eggs were absurdly big so 4 whites ended up being 154g

Hi! oh my god, white chocolate and raspberries sound amazing!!!! I am making my next batch with German sour cherries!!!
Been doing a lot of research since I baked them, just found out that it is NOT good to bake recipes with whey protein at such high temperature! I got this idea from someone who is like a muffin god, she said that this is the secret to have them raise better so I tried... So I saw that the ideal temperature for whey protein goods is max. 170 degrees, may take longer, I really cannot say how long, because that really depends on your muffin molds. I have shallow and deep molds, and obviously the deep one needs to be done longer. I Just stick a skewer and check if it is cooked inside.
I like this recipe because it is so moist inside. Many of the whey protein recipes I tried ended up soooooo dry or rubbery!
Regarding sweetness, I don't really like it sweet so I didn't add any sugar... may be Stevia if someone likes it sweeter. Or instead of apple sauce, I thought you could add unsweetened mango sauce (from baby food!). I wanted to add a couple of TBS of prune essence but I cannot get them in Thailand
let's keep each posted
I am very happy you tried them!!! xoxoxo 0 -

made another batch, this time adding another scoop of protein powder, and 1/4 cup of cacao powder. The latter doesn't really do much though. and this time completely gluten free!0
