Homemade Protein Powder Recipe

Here’s a simple and healthy homemade protein powder recipe made with natural ingredients. This recipe avoids artificial flavors or preservatives and is customizable to your taste or dietary needs.

Here some of them are:

Ingredients:

1. Base Proteins:
   • 1 cup rolled oats (source of plant-based protein)
   • 1 cup almonds (or your choice of nuts, such as cashews or walnuts)
   • 1 cup roasted chickpeas (optional, for a protein boost)
2. Seeds:
   • ½ cup flaxseeds (omega-3 and fiber)
   • ½ cup chia seeds (protein and omega-3)
   • ½ cup sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds (zinc and magnesium)
3. Powders (optional):
   • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for flavor, optional)
   • 1 tbsp cinnamon (antioxidant-rich and adds flavor)
   • 1 tbsp dried ginger powder (optional, for digestion)
4. Extras (optional):
   • ½ cup dried milk powder (if not vegan, for additional protein)
   • 2 tbsp dried fruit powder (like strawberry or banana, for sweetness)

Instructions:

1. Prep Ingredients:
   • Dry roast oats, nuts, seeds, and chickpeas separately over low heat until lightly golden and fragrant. This enhances flavor and removes any moisture.
   • Let all ingredients cool completely before blending.
2. Blend:
   • Use a high-speed blender or food processor to grind the roasted ingredients into a fine powder. Blend in batches for even consistency.
   • Mix in the optional powders or extras during blending to ensure uniformity.
3. Store:
   • Transfer the powder to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month or in the fridge for up to 3 months.

How to Use:

• Add 2–3 tablespoons to smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, or baked goods.
• Mix with milk or water to make a quick protein shake.

Tips:

• Adjust proportions to suit your taste or nutritional goals.
• Make it nut-free by replacing nuts with more seeds or roasted chickpeas.
• For sweetness, blend in stevia or a natural sweetener of your choice.
