Donuts, cookie dough, waffles, oh my! You have got to check out these 7 recipes to make with protein powder – that look almost too good to be true!

When I can’t seem to get my protein high enough in a day (veggie lover problems!), I rely on protein powders to get that little extra protein in. 

Problem is, protein shakes are a hard no for me. 

I had to start getting creative and using protein as an ingredient in recipes, and I have no regrets. 

Can you bake with it?

Yes, you can! But… it does make things a bit more dry so the liquids have to be adjusted up a bit when you bake with protein powder. 

How can I use protein powder in recipes?

I have used it “raw”, blended, and baked. I have even froze it in an ice cream! Protein powder can be so versatile. 

Which brand of protein powder do you use?

There are so many brands out there, and it all comes down to which ingredients you are willing to accept, and your taste and texture preference. 

Right now, I am using Allmax protein powder. 

What are the best recipes to make using protein powder?

From breakfast, lunch, to (mostly) snacks, here is how I love to use protein powder as an ingredient in recipes!
