How to Use Homemade Protein Powder in Smoothies

Using your homemade protein powder recipes in smoothies is simple. i like to use my small magic bullet blender.

1. Water, milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut water all work well.
2. DIY Protein Powder or your protein powder of choice
3. Add fruits and veggies: Bananas, berries, spinach, or kale.
4. Optional add-ins: Nut butters, hemp or chia seeds, and spices.
5. Blend until smooth: Adjust liquid for thickness.
6. Garnish if you want, with mint leaves, cucumber slices, chopped nuts, etc…..

I love having several high protein smoothie recipes that are easy to make with simple fresh ingredients you probably already have on hand…… See what you like and find out what works best for you!

Extra Note: I grind my homemade protein powder mix each time I make a shake, so it’s fresh at serving. It might not be as fine as you prefer, so try pre-grinding or grinding at serving to see what works best for you!
