Protein Powders

Preparation, uses, and tips

Combine protein powder with yoghurt, raspberries, and almonds in a blender and purée for a quick breakfast. Add unflavoured protein powder to cooked porridge, cereal, breads, biscuits, or other home baking for added protein.

Buying and storing tips

Look for protein powders in the supplement section of health food stores, or in the specialty foods section of some supermarkets. Store protein powders in a cool, dark location for 6 to 12 months.

Varieties

Protein powders are available in canisters in plain and flavoured varieties—the plain varieties are bland and nearly tasteless, making them easy to incorporate into foods. Natural varieties with no artificial ingredients are also available.
