10 Easy Ways to Add Protein Powder to Your Diet for a Healthier Body
Not one involves making an actual protein shake
Protein powder supplements can be more versatile than you might expect. They are available almost everywhere, have many flavours, and are fairly cost-effective.
They may include protein from animal sources such as whey, casein, egg, or beef and plant-based sources such as soy, rice, pea, pumpkin, or hemp. Many protein powders are artificially sweetened, and some are now naturally sweetened.
Most powders contain 20–30 grams of protein per serving or scoop, and their taste, texture, and additional ingredients should be considered based on your preference and goals.
Here are ten creative, muscle-supporting ideas for adding protein powder to your diet, not one of which involves drinking an actual protein shake.

You can substitute up to 25% of the flour in your pancake or muffin recipes with protein powder. Usually, adding a scoop or two of protein works well for 6–8 pancakes or muffins. Be sure to mix all dry ingredients before adding any liquids.
