Getting enough protein is an essential part of your daily diet, but with these delicious protein-packed dishes, it doesn’t have to be boring – or expensive.

Whether you choose our Whey Protein, Lean Protein or Vegan Protein, we have 3 simple recipes which won’t take up a lot of your time or money!

Strawberry Protein Smoothie

A protein shake is the most common way to supplement your protein intake, but with just a few ingredients, you can turn your usual shake into a nutritious smoothie – perfect for a post-gym snack or a filling fruity breakfast!

Ingredients

Protein Powder – one serving of our Strawberry Protein Powder; we chose strawberry for maximum strawberry flavour, but vanilla works just as well!

Milk – the liquid base for your smoothie – you can also swap this out for a dairy-free alternative!

Strawberries – fresh or frozen are both great for this recipe

Banana – for added richness! Again, fresh or frozen will work equally well

Honey – for some extra natural sweetness

Ice (optional) – ice will help to thicken your shake (if you use frozen fruit, you can skip adding ice)

Method

1. Firstly, cut your fruit into smaller sized chunks for convenience.

2. Add all ingredients to a blender.

3. Blend until smooth and creamy, serve immediately and enjoy!

Chocolate Protein Porridge Oats

Porridge is a British breakfast staple, and with our protein oats recipe, you can still enjoy chocolate for breakfast!

Ingredients

Protein Powder – one serving of our Chocolate Protein Powder

Porridge Oats – 50g serving

Milk – enough to cover your oats (you can also use a dairy-free alternative or water)

Cocoa Powder – 1tbsp (cacao powder also works well)

Toppings – add your favourite toppings, such as: fruit, granola, nuts, syrup, or even some chocolate!

Method

1. Add your oats to a pan and cover with your milk (or your milk alternative/water).

2. Cook on a medium heat for approx. 5 minutes, or until thick and creamy.

3. Remove from the heat and add one serving of your chocolate protein powder.

4. Stir until smooth (top tip: adding your protein powder after your oats are cooked stops the protein from becoming lumpy while cooking and helps to keep your oats smooth and creamy).

5. To finish, add your favourite toppings!

Vanilla Protein ‘Cheesecake’

When you’re trying to hit your health goals, you don’t ever need to skip dessert with our tasty twist on a cheesecake, packed with protein.

Ingredients

Protein Powder – 1 serving of our Vanilla Protein Powder

Wheat Cereal Biscuits – 2 wheat cereal biscuits will give you the perfect base for one serving

Fat Free Yoghurt – 150g-200g depending on your desired thickness for the ‘cheesecake’ topping

Vanilla flavouring – up to 2tsp (dependent on your desired taste)

Sweetener (optional) – you can add sweetener to the cereal if you prefer a sweeter taste!

Toppings – your choice of favourite toppings!

Method

1. Crush the wheat cereal biscuits to create a crumb.

2. Add the milk – enough to soften the cereal so that it can set as your base.

3. Also add the sweetener if desired.

4. Press the softened base down in your chosen container.

5. Mix the fat free yoghurt, protein powder and vanilla flavouring until smooth.

6. Spread over your base at your desired thickness.
