11 DELICIOUS WAYS YOU CAN USE PROTEIN POWDER

running for fitness

Along with carbohydrates and fats, protein is one of the essential macronutrients that constitute a healthy, balanced diet. Made up of compounds called amino acids, protein is necessary for transporting oxygen and other important molecules throughout the body, repairing damaged cells and making new ones, protecting the body from viruses and bacteria, and producing enzymes, hormones, vitamins, and neurotransmitters.

etting enough protein in your diet is not only crucial for repairing your muscles, regulating your blood sugar, and balancing hormones after exercise, but protein keeps your hair, skin, and nails healthy too. Although it’s popular among bodybuilders and people trying to lose weight, the reality is that most people can benefit from adding a protein powder to their diet.

If you own a blender, there are so many unique ways of using protein powder right at your fingertips. Smoothies offer a more decadent and delicious way to use your protein powder, while still keeping it quick and easy for people on the go.

Before and after a workout, the body refuels best with a 4-1 or 5-1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein. In other words, having some carbs with your protein is the best way to recover and re-energise quickly. Since most protein powders have around 15-20 grams of protein per scoop, smoothies are an easy way to get the right ratio of carbs to protein.

Along with protein powder, frozen fruits and berries, superfoods, plant milk, and nut butter are some of the most common ingredients in delicious, high-protein smoothies. However, the possibilities are endless when it comes to protein smoothies, and you can tweak any recipe to suit your favourite flavours. Here are a few healthy protein smoothie recipes to try:

Smoothie bowls and nice cream

On the days that you have a little more time to get creative in the kitchen and enjoy a meal sitting down, smoothie bowls and nice creams are great options for protein powder recipes. 

If you’re wondering what nice cream is, just think of your favourite ice cream and replace all the unhealthy ingredients with nutrient-rich, frozen bananas and plant-based protein powder!

All you need is a blender or food processor, along with many of the same ingredients used in smoothies. The main difference is smoothie bowls and nice cream recipes use less liquid to create a thicker texture that you can eat with a spoon. Check out these decadent recipes for nice cream and smoothie bowls:

Bliss balls

Bliss balls are the ultimate high energy snack for health-conscious humans on the go.
