Protein Powder Q&A

[curiouschristian82]

Hi all. Was hoping this amazing group could help: can you cook with protein powder?

Example - pancakes. Can I throw a scoop of whey-based protein powder into the batter and proceed as normal? Will the cooking process render the protein obsolete?

I don’t have a problem with lactose. And I insist on creamy shakes — no grit! I use Teraswhey or Wheyfactors products. Open to other ideas.

And gosh - I just love you guys! The thread is so motivating.

@curiouschristian82 I make my own protein pancake mix with vanilla whey protein. Super yummy. Yes, it cooks just fine!

@donaldhof Excellent! Thanks for this intel.

@curiouschristian82 I buy a vegan protein pancake mix. It's great. I often add mashed banana to the batter and put peanut butter on the finished pancakes. Highly recommend!
