Does anyone have some good suggestions on using protein powder in recipes? Could be for anything; breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or just a good shake…

If you mix optimum nutrition extreme milk chocolate flavor whey powder with oatmeal it tastes like cocoa pebbles that we’re actually allowed to eat. I imagine it would be good with any other protein powder also.

Obviously in oatmeal. I have a recipe I got from all recipes for homemade granola bars that I have "tweaked" to make healthier and I add protein powder to them. If you want the recipe I will be happy to share it w/you. We use those bars as a meal for breakfast and also for our snacks. I haven’t made them for a while since I have been really cutting down on carbs, but they are good/healthy/and very easy to add your own favorites to them. Anyway, good luck finding ideas!
Best!

Vanilla, Vanilla cream, or banana cream protien, with Vanilla yogurt, & cottage cheese.

This is copied from the nutrion here on bodyspace.
Ingredients needed for pancakes:
1 cup peeled, sliced and cooked Granny Smith apples
1 cup blueberries
2 egg whites
3/4 cup Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal
1/2 cup multi-grain pancake mix
2 scoops Vanilla Whey Protein Mix
2 Tablespoons vanilla or plain non-fat yogurt
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cold water
Nonstick cooking spray
Ingredients needed for topping:
Strawberries
Blueberries
Bananas
Kiwis
Pineapple
Non-fat Vanilla or Plain Yogurt
Cinnamon
1. Prepare the filling; wash, peel, decor and slice apples into small pieces. Place apples in a small bowl and microwave on high for two minutes. Rinse blueberries well and set aside. Beat egg whites and set aside.
2. Prepare the batter; in a large bowl combine oatmeal, pancake mix, vanilla whey protein mix, yogurt, cinnamon and vanilla extract. Gradually stir in egg whites, apples and water, mixing until a thick consistency, (spatula should stand upright in batter.) If batter is too thick, add a little more H2O; if too thin, add a little more oatmeal. Gently fold in blueberries.
3. Preheat non-stick sprayed large skillet on stovetop over medium heat; place two to four large spoonfuls of batter in heated skillet. Pancakes should be approximately three to four inches in diameter. Check pancakes in a few minutes by sliding spatula under and looking for desired browness. Flip and repeat to other side.
4. To Serve; top pancakes with your favorite fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon. These pancakes are excellent served with honey or maple syrup or even with peanut butter or your favorite yogurt. Makes 4-6 pancakes. Enjoy and stay healthy!

Oh! Hammer35 just reminded me that I have used the oatmeal pancake recipe in the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook which calls for protein powder that we LOVE! I use the suggestion for making a berry sauce w/just berries and a little water cooked to desired consistency and then add a lttle sugar free syrup. Very yummy!

Here is another Breakfast pancake with protein
Ingredients:
3 egg whites
1/3 cup dry oats
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp low fat cottage cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract
Splenda to taste
Directions:
Combine the egg whites, cottage cheese and vanilla extract in a bowl until well mixed. Next add in the dry oats and whey protein powder along with the Splenda until well mixed.
Once a batter has been formed, cook as you would a regular pancake, flipping at half-time. Drizzle with sugar free syrup or serve with fresh fruit.
