Protein powders were primarily used by bodybuilders originally, but today protein powders are being taken advantage of by everyday healthy adults. Proteins have moved beyond the gym and into the kitchen. Let’s take a look and the power of protein powder in the kitchen.
Boost it
Amp up protein by mixing powder with base beyond water. If you would like to add a complete protein and reach a creamy consistency, then mix with milk or soy milk. If you would like to add a nutty flavour with a smooth texture, then mix with nut “milks” like almond, cashew, flax, hemp or hazelnut. Select from beverage of choice, however note the type of base you use will modify the texture as well as alter the level of nutrition.
Blend it
Amplify protein powder in minutes. All you need is a blender and a few of your favourite ingredients. If you would like to add some plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, then blend in some chia seeds or flaxseeds. If you would like add some antioxidants, then add in blueberries or strawberries. If you would like to increase level of micronutrients, then add in greens like spinach or wheatgrass. If you would like to add fibre, then add oats or almonds. If you would like to increase calories, then add avocado or peanut butter. The options are endless. Mix and match and try different ingredients such as bananas, pineapple, oats, yogurt, honey, and more. Blend, pour and enjoy!
Bake it
Mix it in and bake it up. Protein powders can be added to everyday baked goods or the family secret recipes. That means you can pretty much add protein powder to any baked good like cookies, cakes, mug cakes, edible cookie dough, pies, puddings, bars, cupcakes, biscuits and breads. Experiment with new fun flavours like salted caramel and chocolate peanut butter. If your recipe calls for oils, then try bananas or yogurt instead. Try swapping honey or maple syrup for sugar. You may also enrich the flavour by adding vanilla, nutmeg or cinnamon. This one may be hard to set aside and cool… enjoy!
Although protein may be complex, it’s extremely easy to use and add into everyday life. Try it & see!
