Weight loss has been associated with protein intake of late. A diet plan without protein powder has become a rarity. When I give diet plans to young boys, they frown at them for the lack of protein powder. Be me being me would never recommend the store-bought protein powder. So how to quench the desire for some powder to do the job? I started looking for how to make protein powder at home. My search for protein powder recipes at home ended in a curated set of ingredients and recipe that ensures protein intake without any preservatives.

The recommended dietary allowance of protein for an adult who works out moderately is 1g per kg of body weight. It comes down to .8 if the person is leading a sedentary life and more if the person exercises regularly and vigorously. Hence the ideal protein intake depends on the lifestyle of the person.

The thought of making protein powder at home came to my mind when I was looking for a quarantine diet. This is because of two reasons. One is that I could not trust the ingredients of the whey protein that we buy from outside. Secondly, during quarantine, I had to find a homemade solution as we didn’t have access to courier services. Thus I ended up researching this. With my food and nutrition life coach experience, I went out to find a moderate recipe that is practical and nutritious.

To ensure a balanced protein powder, nuts like almonds, pistachios, and walnuts. cashew etc is an inevitable part. Hence if you have a nut allergy, you might not be able to consume this. So, here we go with protein powder recipes at home.

    I had seen few recipes of homemade protein powder on YouTube previously. and most of them have used peanut as a base. I did not like the taste of peanut much, so I did not tried them. it is great that your recipe is free from peanuts. I will try it for sure. thanks for sharing dear.

    Thanks for this wonderful recipe Rakhi. Once we know how to make our own protein powder at home, I doubt anyone will look for any store bought options. It has all the goodness and what I liked is you have used Ghee.

    I thought protein powder was only whey protein. This sounds very interesting. Thank you for sharing this unique and easy recipe. Store-bought ones cost a bomb and we don’t know what goes into them.

    Protein supplement was advised while I was regularly gyming and realised it is very costly. But if you can make it at home nothing like it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will try it now.

    I used to make a similar kind of multi-nut powder for my son when he was younger and added that to his milk. What you have shared is so nutritious for kids. This is a good way to introduce good healthy food for fussy eaters.

    Rather than crushing all these high nutritious foods, I would like to eat them in their original form. I have never taken protein powder and never will. Anyways this is a much better option than powders available in the market.
