Cooking With Protein Tip # 2

When making recipes using protein powder, remember not all proteins are created equal.  Your scoop might be bigger or smaller than mine, which may require a little manipulation of ingredients to acquire the correct texture or consistency for your mixture.  Note that in all of my recipes, the scoop in the protein that I use measures to approx 1/4 cup, so judge accordingly.

Also keep in mind that all protein powders have different nutritional values, so the nutritional content will vary from my recipe to yours depending on the protein used.  I break down the nutritional value as a guide only, not to be taken as gospel.

Finally, another thing to note is that not all protein tastes the same.  Some are sweeter, some are blander.  So if you use a protein powder that is not particularly sweet, you may want to consider adding few tbsp of  artificial sweetener, such as Splenda, to your mixture to reach the desired sweetness.  Although you and I may make the same treats using the exact same recipe, the end result can be different because of the flavour of the protein used.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind when cooking with protein! :)
