Preparation, uses, and tips
Combine protein powder with yogurt, raspberries, and almonds in a blender and purée for a quick
breakfast. Add unflavored protein powder to cooked oatmeal,
cereal, breads, cookies, or other baked
goods 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 flavored 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.
