Ways to Enjoy Protein Powder
In a previous post, I shared about the different types of protein powders. Check out the previous post here. For many years I had a smoothie almost every day; it had mostly fruit so I am sure I was getting way too much sugar. I actually had so many smoothies that I have a hard time enjoying them anymore. I still wanted to occasionally incorporate protein powder in my diet so I have found other recipes for protein powder. In this post, I thought I would share a few ways to add protein powder into your diet besides smoothies or shakes.
Protein Yogurt Bowls.
- 1 cup unsweetened organic yogurt
- 1 scoop protein powder (I use this brand)
- ¼ cup organic dried fruit
- ¼ cup chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans
Blend the yogurt and protein powder until smooth. Top with dried fruit and nuts. Enjoy.
This can be a quick breakfast or snack. I will use non-dairy yogurts like coconut or cashew since I am not doing dairy right now.
Gramma Cookies
My grandsons love these cookies. They make a great snack or even light breakfast.
