Protein powder recipes

I found these on Livestrong this morning. Thank God I saved them because I went looking for the link to share it and couldn't find it anymore.

I haven't tried any of these yet but thought I'd share anyway.
Feel free to give it a 1-5 star rating after trying them.


Quick, Fast & In A Hurry Cookie INGREDIENTS: 1 scoop flavored protein powder of your choice, 1 egg white. DIRECTIONS: Mix egg white and protein powder in a bowl. Add water to the mixture until it forms a doughy substance. Spray a bowl with non-stick spray and place the batter inside. Place in a microwave and heat for 15-45 seconds, depending on the power of your microwave. Let cool and enjoy.

Vanilla Cheesecake INGREDIENTS: ½ or 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, ½ cup fat free cream cheese, 4 tsp. sugar (or sweetener of your choice), 2 tsp. milk. DIRECTIONS: Mix everything together thoroughly in a bowl and eat as-is.

Recovery Rice Crispies INGREDIENTS: 1 ½ cups Rice Krispies cereal, 1 ½ tbsp. honey, 2 tbsp. reduced fat butter, ½ cup oatmeal, ½ tsp. vanilla extract, 2 scoops vanilla protein powder. DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 325 F. Lightly coat a 9x9 baking pan with cooking spray. Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl, then scoop onto the baking pan. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture is crisp.

No-Bake Vanilla Cake INGREDIENTS: 1 egg, 3 tbsp. applesauce, 2 tbsp. syrup, 3 tbsp. milk, ½ tsp. vanilla extract, 2 tbsp. flour, 3 tbsp. pancake mix, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. DIRECTIONS: Place the eggs, applesauce, syrup, milk, and vanilla extract into a blender and blend until very well mixed. Add the flour, pancake mix, and protein powder to the mixture and resume blending. Pour the mixture into a non-stick bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. If it still looks wet at the top, microwave for an additional 10 seconds at a time until you see the consistency you want.

Any idea of what the stats are on the recipes? They sound like they are for "normies" but could be adapted to bariatric folks, through making some substitutions i.e. no sugar added applesauce for the oil. Also, using mostly egg whites would work.

The cheesecake and muffins sound good. I would make some changes, but it would probably be doable for people in maintenance.


Thank you!
