What to do with chocolate protein powder?
To put it shortly - I bought a 2kg tub of Reflex's rich chocolate Vegan Protein today and it tastes nasty! Nearly all I can taste is stevia, but I need to finish this tub. I'd be super-grateful if anyone has some vegan, gluten-free recipes for me?

I recently made some protein bars using oats (sorry - can you get gluten free oats?!), peanut butter (pure - just peanuts, nothing added), homemade almond milk and chocolate protein powder. Next time I will sweeten with some agave as it wasn't quite sweet enough for me - but then I ended up sprinkling these with dessicated coconut and they're nice!0

I can - those sound fabulous! Are they the kind where you just mix everything up on the stove, then refrigerate them?0 -
you can also make chocolate ice cream.0

I didn't actually heat anything up - just mixed, shaped them (I did balls) and put them in the fridge :-)0

I like to freeze bananas to make ice cream - that sounds perfect! Thanks.0 -

Brilliant! I have some puffed millet in the house so I might start with that first, then get some oats.0 -
I warm my skim milk and mix, have hot chocolate, if you want a different "kick", add a couple drops of Bananna extract, or add ice and make a smoothie
I have the hot chocolate every morning0 -
You could make a Cafe Mocha shake. Mix your chocolate protien powder in with milk or water then add 1 teaspoon instant coffee grinds, add ice if you want.0

I was just thinking about that - sounds perfect! I just need to get my hands on some coffee!0 -

Mine seems a bit too sweet to do that, though I think almond milk or something might help. This is hardcore sweetened goo if I just add water!0 -

They look great, though I'd need to fiddle around for a bit to make them vegan- and coeliac-friendly. Thanks!0 -

I do this all the time. I don't find the protein powders that palatable either . They're great for a quick and easy on the way out the door breakfast though!!!0 -
I put 1/2 a banana, handful of berries and some almond milk. Yum0

Not a recipe but an idea, i can't / couldn't drink just the protien pwder when i first started weight training, it was so sweet it actually gagged me every time, it was all i could do to get to the end of a shake (water or milk + pwdr), but i add ice cold water now, & it seems to dull the sweetness & the grittiness mine has.
Just an idea.0
