Fresh Homemade Protein Powder
Have you ever wanted to make your own organic protein powder? I did too, so I created a recipe for fresh, homemade protein powder.
I always wondered how prepackaged protein mixes could be fresh since real foods lose their nutrients over time.
I knew there had to be a better way to enjoy the benefits of protein shakes and smoothies. So, I developed a recipe for homemade protein powder.
After researching, I couldn’t find a homemade organic protein powder that I could grind fresh each time. So, I tried out a few homemade recipes for myself and decided to share them with others.
Best Mixture with Powdered Milk:
- Almonds
- Sunflower Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Sesame Seeds
- Flax Seeds
- Chia Seeds
- Hemp Seeds
- plus Organic Powdered milk
Best Vegan Protein Powder Recipe:
- Almonds
- Sunflower Seeds
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Sesame Seeds

- OR~ Coconut Powder
This mixture is so inviting and healthy looking……keep reading for the specific amounts of each ingredient……

Do you have the nutritional amounts for this recipe? ie. grams of protein, fat, etc per serving? thanks! I’m excited to try this!
I just updated this Homemade Protein Powder post so the recipe includes the nutritional information. Hope this helps!
This is a great post! I’m looking forward to trying this one. Thank you for sharing your research and recipe!
I am so glad you wrote. Certainly hope you love this Fresh Ground Protein Powder as much as I do!
would this work for baking, like muffins and /or pancakes?
Good Idea! I have not tried this but consider adding a tablespoon or two to your batter and see how it turns out. If you like it and decide to add more, simply reduce your flour down a little but make sure to keep the same consistency of the batter. Nice way to add extra protein! Thanks for writing!
Thank you for the PP recipe. I would love if you could come up with a collagen recipe that I could trust, (from you, I do). There are so many out there.
My major need is for my finger nails. They are thin and like onion skins.
Please and Thank you.
I’m so glad you’re loving the Protein Powder recipe! That’s fantastic news!
Collagen Info
Thanks for asking about collagen! I haven’t created a recipe for it yet, but I’ve found a great product on Amazon that my family enjoys. This collagen has worked really well for us. Since I’m an Amazon Associate, I can share the link with you through my blog! The collagen that we use is Horbaach Multi Collagen Protein Powder. It is very reasonably priced and comes in a 2 pound container. Take a look and see if this is something that might work for you!

hi i am looking forward to try out the receipe once I have all the ingredients, however I just want to ask you, in the above recipe I believe you haven’t roasted the seeds, is it a good idea to roast all seeds, cool, grind and then mix the milk powder,,, would u recommend this??
I have not roasted my seeds or nuts. It seems as there are pros and cons on both sides. I have simply used the raw seeds and nuts. IF you do roast some of your ingredients, please let me know what you think! Thanks!
