protein powder problem
I have a problem. I can’t stop purchasing protein powders. I have discussed a few of them before in this post, but recently my collection has expanded and I realized that there might be an issue here. I am not just hoarding them for giggles, I do actually use them, so this addiction may not be all bad. I also do not discriminate with my powders. I have hemp, sprouted legumes, whey, brown rice, and egg white. The only cat I am opposed to is soy. Sorry, soy.
Here is what I do with the troops:
I bake with them:
protein packed (sorta) cookies
The recipe for these delights is heading your way tomorrow. Stay tuned…
I also add protein powder of choice to my oat bran. A lot. This sweetens up the oat bran a wee bit and it gets in a hefty serving of protein. Win!
chocolate, peanut butter, protein oats
I used Thorne’s Vegalite Chocolate flavored protein powder in this creation. I am usually all about vanilla with my protein powder, but this fella was a nice switcharo.

And finally the most beloved protein powder of all, is my Metagenics Ultra Clear. This Time I got the Ultra clear plus PH. This “plus PH” supposedly makes your body more alkaline. Fine by me. After this holiday season I could use more alkalinity. I seriously love stuff. I love the taste and it gives me bundles of energy while keeping me oh, so full for hours. I sound like an infomercial.
I always save my favorite child for green smoothies.
And that is all I’ve got. What do you use your protein powders for? Or am I the only one with this odd addiction?
Happy Monday!

Do you think the Ultra clear plus PH tastes the best? I’m on the hunt for a new protein powder for smoothies but don’t want the powder to dominate the yummy fruit flavor.
Ash, I really like how subtle the flavor is. It does not dominate and it is not overly sweet like a lot of them. If you want a really neutral flavor protein powder with lots vitamins, Thorne’s Mediclear PLus is a great option. I do believe they sell it at Common Health.
I’m intrigued by Thorne’s. Just went to their website to see what it’s all about…they use to many big words, I have no idea what they mean or why these big, hard to pronounce words might be good for my bod. We’ll have to discuss the next time we hang out.
Ooh! I have that problem too and need to know if I need to go and get that Metagenics protein powder?? You love it that much? Great post. Hope all is well.
Abby, I really do love it. I stopped doing it for a few months to switch things up and I definitely notice a difference when I am taking the Metagenics versus the other powders.
I prefer Muscle Milk…I’m gonna pump, YOU up.
