Recovery: Ways to Use Protein Powder
Protein powder can
be used as a mixer in up to 13 different types of food as an item you wouldn't
always think of.
You can include
protein in your favorite smoothies, including but not limited to strawberry
banana and chocolate peanut butter. Protein is also an excellent companion in
most recipes that require baking or cooking methods such as bread and cakes.
If you find
yourself with extra protein powder once the bag is finished, it's safe to use any
recipe that requires eggs or milk when preparing muffins or pancakes. You can
also add some water and make a healthy option for instant oatmeal by adding
whey-based ingredients like protein powder or casein into the mix instead of
flour.
Protein powder is
also easy to integrate into various beverages that can be made with only a few
ingredients. For example, you can make an egg-free protein shake mix by
combining one cup of vanilla ice cream, 1 1/2 cups of non-fat milk, 2
tablespoons of water and two scoops of pure whey protein powder in a blender
for about 20 seconds. Add fresh fruit if desired and enjoy.
All it takes to
use protein powder as a substitute for flour is some water and an extra scoop
or two depending on the recipe's requirements.
If you're in the
mood for baking but you don't want the hassle, consider using a chocolate
protein bar instead of making a cake from scratch.
I have found some great recipes for Slice
And Bake Protein Cookies that are really delicious.
Try this recipe
for Baked Oatmeal Protein Cookies.
Mix 1/2 cup of
brown sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of water and 2 tablespoons
of plain yogurt.
Next add in
oatmeal, pecans, vanilla extract and baking powder to the mix then top it off
with whey-based ingredients or protein powder if you have any left. Place in an
electric oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15-20 minutes or
until the dough is cooked through.
Then let them cool
before enjoying!
