So recently my husband started a diet that placed a great emphasis on more protein at each meal. With our limited options trying to find creative ways to get the protein in there was starting to get tough. I had tried pretty hard to find a protein powder that was free of his allergens and came back empty handed. I figured if I already make everything we eat from scratch then there must be a way to make a protein powder that I could add to baking or smoothies to give him that extra punch. I was able to use safe ingredients to make up a jar of protein powder that was pretty equivalent to the store bought ones except for one big difference - no additives or allergens!! He has added it to his oatmeal in the mornings and does not seem to notice a strong taste. I can now play around with flavours so that we can use it like a seasoning for his oatmeal or other items.
Homemade Protein Powder
1 cup organic green lentils
1 cup oats
1/3 cup brown rice
Place in the vitamix and blend until a fine powder. Store in a jar and use as needed.
My entire jar was 50 g total of protein.
