Use Flavored Proteins in Your Baking
Most recipes can be made with chocolate or vanilla protein powders, which are readily available just about anywhere and are generally mild-flavored and safe to use. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, head to your local supplement shop and check out their selection. You can often find many more flavors than you’d find at your grocery store if you want to move beyond chocolate and vanilla.
