Protein powders can be dissolved in your coffee for a substitute for cream, warm or iced!

It is important to be sure the liquid isn't too hot before adding the protein—unless you want to drink something that resembles ground up cardboard. Didn’t think so!

In cold liquids, powders may not dissolve, as easily. So it might be a good idea to mix powders in less extreme temperatures and then gradually heat or add ice to liquids after the protein powder has dissolved.

shake it up!

Protein isn't just for shakes and it's not just for drinking!

Grab a spoon and try something new. You can use protein powders in creative new ways to get in delightful, fun and refreshing new taste and texture sensations. 

What about creating a parfait by adding protein powder to puddings or yogurts.

Try adding protein powders to:

  • lemon or vanilla (sugar free) puddings
  • purèed blueberries, or strawberries with (low sugar) yogurt 
  • cottage cheese and purèed berries  

Use Greek, low sugar yogurts for even more protein power.  Greek yogurts are thicker (and have loads more protein) and add more satisfying texture to your menu!

Have a par-excellent, berry good time!

I challenge you to find a new way to "shake it up" and share with us your new ideas.  Just click on the comment section -at the bottom of this post- and leave your recipe or new discovery, or email me at juliaholloman@gmail,com.

And go ahead...Shake it up....even have a little squirt of whip on top!

Yes, you can! You have many more meals to go!
