What's your favourite recipe that uses whey protein powder?

I just mixed a scoop in a plain greek yogurt and it was pretty good. Makes it SUPER thick though.

I don't use whey powder because all of the whey proteins you get have sucralose in them which can cause long term effects to your liver BUT I do us chocolate shakeology and love adding almond milk and strawberries!

Frozen bananas, 2 tbsp of cocoa powder and about 3 tbsp protien powder.

Mix in blender until smooth and creamy..homemade HEALTHY chocolate banana ice cream

I sprinkle chocolate protein shake powder on my oatmeal in the morning. It gives the oatmeal a great flavor and gives me the added protein I need. Much better than the flavored oatmel packets.

I think you are misinformed. Not all whey powder has sucralose.

in fact, there are a number of "blends" that this "shakeology" company lists in its ingredients that could be about anything along with higher cholesterol and carbs.

Anyways, my AM shake is:
55g whey isolate unflavored
140g strawberries
100g banana
1c almond milk unflavored
50g raw spinach

super good, lots of whole foods with some added protein.

I've always wondered about those shakes for breakfast. Do you count it as a meal, or an early morning snack? Seems just a protien shake wouldn't fill you up that much.

You'd be really surprised - especially if you add greek yogurt. I need a LOT of calories in the morning. I wake up starving and my morning protein shake keeps me full until at least 11 AM, even after my workout.

No Bake Cookie Protein Smoothie

enough ice to make it as thick as you’d like

I use whey protein powder a lot in baking. This is one of my favorite recipes:

Sour Cream Snack Cake
Makes 8 servings @ 5 g. carbs and 5 g. protein each

1 c. vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 c. golden flaxseed meal
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 c. splenda
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/4 c. water
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. chopped walnuts

Combine whey protein powder, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, splenda and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix egg, oil, water and sour cream in a bowl, then stir in dry ingredients. Pour into a greased 8-inch baking pan and tap on counter a few times to settle bubbles. Sprinkle nuts on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Test with toothpick. Do not overbake or it will be dry.

Or divide batter into well-greased muffin pans, being careful to fill them no more than 1/2 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Test with toothpick. Do not overbake or they will be dry. I use silicone muffin pans and leave them in the pans until they're cool, then remove. They tend to stick when using even non-stick muffin tins. I haven't tried using paper liners.

I did this for the first time yesterday. Used the Oikos yogurt and a scoop of peach spirutein. It was like eating frosting.
