What do you put your protein powder in?

I use it in pancakes, other baked good like muffins and other recipies by jamie eason (they are amazing) , also add to cereal occasionally just to make the cereal worth it calorie wise for me. people add chocolate flavored protein to coffee as well, its not too bad , as for flavor for baking i usually stick to vanilla , but drinking always some kind of chocolate

I've put protein powder in muffins before and pancakes. I also made a sorbet and put a bit of protein powder and some milk, re-froze it, didn't turn out well. Anything that uses flour I feel will do fin with a scoop of protein powder. Usually they have sweet flavors but I have two that blend well with out adding any sweet flavor. Peaceful Planet Pea Protein and MLO Brown Rice Protein. Good Luck to you!

I just started with protein powder myself. I haven't added it to food yet, but I make a smoothie with it after every workout. Scoop of double chocolate powder, 2/3 c fat free milk, a banana and some ice. It tastes so good after my workout and fills me up too. I have yet to be able to choke down vanilla powder. I've tried adding it to coffee, milk and even just water, but it is just too gross for me

I had a bowl of rice crispies with protein shake instead of milk. It was epic.

Never tried it with pancakes. My wife makes pretty nifty dropscones, we'll have to try the protein enhanced version next time we make them.

Also, I wonder if it would be possible to make a protein-rich bread? You could even chuck some raisins or chopped dried peaches in there to make it intresting.

steel cut oats, plain greek yogurt(my fave), on breakfast cereal, etc.

I put mine in tomato soup, nonfat greek yogurt, oatmeal, soy milk...it didn't mix well in cottage cheese. :embarassed:

i just put mine in a water bottle...I think it's good and simple/easy. I just use GNC brand protein and i think it tastes good. I have no desire to mix it with something mildly unhealthy

Personally I just do 2 scoops in 12 oz of milk and shake it, but here's a recipe for protein pancakes that's pretty tasty.
