Recipes With Protein Powder

Protein Powder & Oatmeal:


This is an extremely fast and easy meal for when you are in a rush. Simply take your serving of oatmeal, cook it through your preferred method and then add a scoop of protein powder in after its finished cooking.

Note however that you may wish to add a little more water before cooking as the protein powder will act as a thickener. Other additions that you can add to increase the taste and nutrient profile are peanut butter, chopped or frozen fruit and milk.

Easy Protein Bars:

8 Scoops Whey (any flavor you prefer)

3 Cups Oats

1 Package Sugar Free Fat Free Pudding

2 Cups Skim Milk

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and spread in the bottom of a pan. Place in the fridge overnight and cut into 8 individual squares the next morning.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Protein Jell-o:

1 scoop protein powder

1 package sugar free jell-o powder

Make jell-o as directed on the package only right before you put it into the fridge; mix in one scoop fruit flavored protein powder. Syntrax's Nectar protein works great for this recipe.

Protein Powder Cottage Cheese:


Another very easy idea for those on a high protein diet and looking for a fast meal. Take 1/2 to1 cup cottage cheese and mix with 1/2 to 1 scoop protein powder. If you are looking for a more complete protein and fat meal, which may be the case for those on carb cycling plans, add in a tablespoon of peanut butter to get the macronutrient profile you need.

Protein Peanut Butter Balls:

3/4 cup peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder

1/2 cup raw oats

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl and form into small 1" balls. Place in the fridge for a few hours and then enjoy.

Protein Powder Parfait:

2 cups chopped mixed berries

2 cups of sugar free yogurt or pudding

1 scoop protein powder

Mix protein powder in with yogurt or pudding. Layer fruit and pudding/yogurt in a tall parfait glass. Top with chocolate shavings or a dab of fat free cool whip. Makes 2 servings.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Oatmeal Pancakes:

1 cup raw oats

1 scoop protein powder

3 egg whites

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 packets sweetener

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Place all ingredients in a blender and blend for 30 seconds. Then pour onto a hot grill and cook like a normal pancake. An optional addition is to add some frozen fruit after the batter is blended.
