Question:
Is there a recipe to make protein powder into Brownies or something?

I want to make my protein powder into something. I have Real Meals and it is just too sweet. I drink it anyway, but if I could make it into something solid, I think it would be easier to get down. My protein bars don't taste wonderful, but they are so much easier to get down.    — Kristy J. (posted on November 22, 2002)

hiya! i don't know about Real Meals but i use Jarrow's Iso Rich Soy Protein Powder and it's made to be cooked with or frozen without losing its integrity. the whey proteins cannot be cooked with and the soy protein "shakes" also cannot be cooked with. Genisoy and Trader Joe's both make soy protein that you can cook with but i personally didn't care for their tastes/consistency. the Jarrow's is flavorless, for 2 tbls you get 110 calories, 0 fat, 0 carb, 0 sugar and 25g protein. i have recipe files on my website that include the jarrows and one seperate recipe file for high protein peanut butter chocolate chip cookies using the jarrows. i'm sure you could use any protein that says it can be cooked with. check out: http://www.geocities.com/katebme2002 good luck and i hope you enjoy! {hugs} kate open rny 6-14-01 pre op: 268lbs goal: 135lbs current: 126

You can by unflavored supplement at www.globalhp.com and add it to diabetic baking mixes, it's great. I was using Procel but plan to try the UpDCal...it has the calcium... anyway just a thought... it does not desolve in boiling water so mix it before heating...

The key is to make sure that the protein you pick says that it was designed to be cooked. Whey protein curdles when cooked.

I use Real Meals. Add a little more water to it than the directions say and it is not too sweet. Also, I notice that your profile says you are 7 weeks post op. My taste buds were really screwed up for the first three or four months. A lot of things tasted to sweet. Now I am 7 1/2 months and everything tastes normal. I don't know about making it into brownies. Go to their website and ask the question. I have asked them a lot of gastric bypass specific questions and they have always had an answer back to me.
