Most athletes have a large supply of protein powders in their pantry but don’t use it for anything more than an occasional after workout protein shake. However, there are many alternative uses that this powerful supplement can be used to help you hit your nutritional goals. If you are stuck with a large assortment of protein powders, consider these 3 alternative uses.
Coffee
Most people start their morning with a nice, hot cup of coffee just for the energy benefits it can provide. However, even adding just a small amount of your favorite protein powder can instantly transform your cup of coffee into a protein powerhouse. This can help not only increase your protein intake but give your coffee an instant flavor boost that doesn’t have the caloric content of creamers.
Baked Goods
Did you know that you can use protein powder as a flour base for many of your favorite ingredients? Unlike traditional flour, protein powders already have flavoring and sweetener added, making it a great alternative. Try looking for ways to make protein cookies, cakes, muffins or anything you can think to satisfy your sweet tooth while maintaining your dietary needs.
Protein Pudding
If you are on a low carb or keto diet, you likely crave desserts. One of the easiest desserts you can make while using protein powders is a protein pudding or mousse. To do this, just mix heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. Once this happens, incorporate your protein powders and mix until the consistency is perfect. This will create a fantastic dessert that tastes great and won’t kill your diet while helping encourage muscle growth.
