3 Delicious Whey Protein Baking Recipes (no shakes allowed)

Apple Pie Protein Waffle

Most of us are comfortable with our blenders and protein powders. We may add in some fruits or some greens, but really, all you need is a little water, some ice, and you have a convenient, pretty great tasting, high protein drink in minutes. Yet one of the other great things about whey protein powders (particularly BioTrust’s Platinum1 because of the choice of flavors and the sweeteners we use) is the terrific variety of possible recipes. Enter whey protein baking recipes.

Whether you’re looking for a great weekend breakfast the whole family will love or want to give your kids a healthier version of their favorite treat, these delicious recipes are tried, tested, and kid (and adult) approved.

Chef Note: You could certainly substitute the original Rice Krispy cereal for the brown rice crisp cereal I used.

Chef Note: You can use any nut butter you prefer.

Chef Note: I would not recommend using another substitute for the brown rice syrup as this crucial ingredient is used to bind the treats together since we have omitted marshmallows.
