Ultimate Protein Powder Recipe Roundup: Smoothies, Quick Bites, Yogurt Bowls & More

Here’s something that will absolutely change your life and your health: Getting enough protein. 

The benefits are endless:

• Healthier hair, skin and nails
• Supports strong muscles and joints
• Increased energy
• Less cravings
• Balanced blood sugar
• Balanced hormones aka fewer mood swings and fatigue even during menstrual cycle
• Better focus and brainpower
• So much more!

My general rule of thumb is to get at least 30g or protein at each meal. I prefer to prioritize protein from whole food sources (such as grass-fed beef, pasture-raised chicken, etc.). This ensures you’re getting complete proteins. Protein powder can be a great way to supplement protein intake. 

TDW Organic Bone Broth Protein is an organic, grass-fed bone broth protein powder with minimal ingredients and tons of flavor. It’s dairy free and has 20g of protein per serving. Because of its minimal formulation, it is incredibly versatile and able to be used in countless ways. Easily bump the protein profile while adding a hint of sweetness (either chocolate or vanilla) to whatever you want – smoothies, warm drinks, baked goods, and more!

Below you’ll find protein-packed recipes and inspo for:

1. Smoothies
2. Prep-Ahead Faves
3. Yogurt Bowls (can use dairy or make dairy-free!)
4. Easy Bites
5. Beverages
6. Desserts
