10 Best Protein Powder Recipes for Weight Loss

These healthy protein powder recipes are sure to be your new Go-To favorites.Here we go:

1. Protein Yogurt Berry Clusters

This scrumptious protein powder recipe is packed with plenty of protein and healthy fats. I love this satisfying dessert snack so much and since I live an intermittent fasting lifestyle it is a great way to end my eating window.

In this protein powder recipe, I have used both vanilla and salted caramel flavored protein powder. Both are delicious, but my favorite is definitely the QUEST SALTED CARAMEL.

2. Mason Jar Protein Powder Ice Cream

I must say that this protein powder recipe is nothing short of amazing. It is my husband’s very favorite healthy dessert that I make for him.

This stuff is low-sugar, low-carb, loaded with protein and tastes just as good, if not better, than regular ice cream.

This is probably the most versatile protein powder recipe. Feel free to use whatever flavor you want to make this mason jar protein ice cream. My favorite flavors to use are SALTED CARAMEL, CHOCOLATE Protein Powder and especially CINNAMON CRUNCH.

3. Salted Caramel Coffee Protein Shakes

This protein powder recipe is very refreshing and is perfect for just about anytime during the day. These protein shakes can be whipped up in minutes and can be made with regular or decaf coffee cubes.

The POWDERED PEANUT BUTTER is an easy way to add even more protein and so much extra flavor to this recipe. My favorite time to enjoy this icy cold homemade protein shake is right after completing an intense workout or after returning from a jog around the neighborhood.

If you plan on consuming protein shake recipes regularly, like I do, I would highly suggest that you invest in an extremely efficient food processor or blender. I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, myNINJA blender. I have used it to make smoothies and many more great protein powder andweight loss recipes for over 3 years now.

The Keto Crunch adds even more protein intake while giving these fat bombs just the right amount of crunch.

5. Peanut Butter Coco-Chip Protein Yogurt

I probably should have listed this protein powder recipe as my number 1 on this list. I started making this dessert when I started out on my weight loss journey in January of 2021. This healthy and delicious dessert absolutely helped me lose 46 pounds in 4 months.

I have been eating this dessert for almost three years now. As you can see from the photo above, I often top my protein yogurt dessert with fresh berries, LILYS BAKING CHIPS or a few regular chocolate chips and some delicious LOW SUGAR KETO GRANOLA (Blueberry Cinnamon).

The chocolate chips give this dessert just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy just about anybody’ssweet tooth.Additionally, flax seeds and chia seeds make great additions to this dessert, as well.

6. Blackberry Vanilla Protein Powder Smoothie Recipe

This awesome protein powder smoothie recipe not only tastes amazing, but the blackberries help blast some serious belly fat too. This protein smoothie is refreshing and quenches your thirst while satisfying your sweet tooth in such a healthy way. The coconut oil in this protein drink is an excellent way to get a nutritious dose of healthy fats.

Feel free to add almond butter in place of the powdered peanut butter and almond milk instead of coconut milk to this creamy protein shake if you wish.

7. Muscle Mug Cakes

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this homemade protein powder recipe SO MUCH! This protein powder mug cake only takes a mug and a few minutes to whip up. This healthy low-carb, protein packed dessert truly tastes like real birthday cake without all of the extra added sugar.

Depending on the protein powder that you choose to use, your muscle mug cake can literally be any yummy flavor that you want. My absolute favorites are PEANUT BUTTER, SALTED CARAMEL and CHOCOLATE Protein Powder.

If you are in the mood for some extra chocolate flavoring, cocoa powder orcacao powder are alwaysgreat additions. And since Cacao is a bit healthier than Cocoa Powder, I often stick to adding Cacao Powder to my Protein Mug Cake. You can find my very favorite brand of Cacao Powder, Better Body Foods Organic Cacao Powder RIGHT HERE.

Feel free to use coconut flour in place of the almond flour if you wish. I also love to top mine with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. YUM!

Which Protein Powder Should I Use?

You may have noticed that I didn’t list how much protein is found in each protein powder recipe above and that is because these recipes are versatile and you should feel free to use the protein powder that you love the most. These high protein desserts and meal replacement recipes are delicious when they are made with flavored or unflavored protein powder, as well aswhey protein powder, plant-based protein powder, or even vegan protein powder.

Why I Think QUEST is the BEST!

I, however, almost always use “QUEST” PROTEIN POWDER because it is my personal favorite. And the Salted Caramel flavor is definitely my favorite protein powder and absolutely one of my VERY FAVORITE WEIGHT LOSS PRODUCTS. I love Quest for so many reasons. I think Quest has the best protein powders because they pack HUGE AMOUNTS OF PROTEIN per serving (like 26 grams of protein per scoop).

They’re LOW IN SUGAR and CARBS and they have a variety of flavors that taste delicious with absolutely no gross aftertaste. I make sure I always have one of each flavor on hand so I can easily make any protein powder recipe whenever I want.
