Favorite Protein based foods
Sup Losers, Weight losers that is.
I have been trying to find new ways to make my foods out of protein powder. I have had many a monstrosity, and a few good outcomes. What is your favorite protein powder based foods?
My two favorites right now is a Orange/Strawberry smoothie and chocolate chocolate chip pancakes.
For the smoothie I use 1/2 cup of vanilla greek yogurt, 4-6oz of fat free milk, a handful of frozen strawberries, and 1 scoop of V-Core Orange creamsicle protein powder from Complete Nutrition. Total is about 45 grams Protein and 224 calories.
For the pancakes, it was really simple. Take one scoop of your favorite chocolate protein powder (Chocolate Elevation protein powder is what I am using), one egg, and one banana. Blend it on a blender, then if you want add chocolate chips, dark chocolate is my favorite, and cook like you normally would. For I made smaller ones, So I made about 8 total. Total is about 4 grams of protein and 45 calories per pancake.
Keep in mind that it won't rise or be fluffy, but will be flat and kinda dense. To me these are sweet enough that it doesn't need syrup or anything but, you do you.
I started experimenting because my doctors told me I am not getting enough protein even at 120 grams of protein a day. So now I am most likely going overboard with it but I am trying to get to 160 grams of protein to see if it'll please my doctors.
Edit: added Protein and calorie amounts.
