How do you make your own protein powder?
Anyone have some recipes?

    I wouldn't have the first clue how to make protein powder. Did google throw anything up?

    Guessing if they are making homemade protein powder there is going to be at least one person throwing something up.

    Unless you have an industrial lyopholizer in your kitchen I wouldn't reccomend trying that. Best you are going to come up with is something akin to powdered beef jerky which is not going to be particularly appetizing or soluble.

    You could make something resembling it probably with a grain of somekind but the carb content will be much higher and it still won't be very soluble, will be more of a suspension than anything.

    Here's a recipe. Doesn't seem calorie efficient to me though.

    ETA: An industrial grade lyophilizer is going to be #1 on my Christmas wish list this year.

    I did a quick google, and most mixes contain milk powder and ground up Almonds. The ones i looked at averaged around 10g protein per serve. I don't think there's anything out there that is easily made at home which would compare to whey protein.

    I wonder if it's possible to dehydrate whey.

    Why not use liquid egg whites instead of nut powders or dry milk. It lends itself to many uses and has little or no taste.It is inexpensive and requires no preparation. Just add it to your drinks/smoothies, recipes. This is great if you have no egg allergies.

    Yep, liquid egg whites mixed with yogurt, milk or milk powder, cocoa and maybe some chia seeds would be a decent protein boost. More calories than protein powder, but it all depends which is more important to the individual i guess.
