Breaking the Shake Shackles

Creative Recipes with Protein Powder

Protein powder is often synonymous with protein shakes, but there are infinite possibilities to make it part of other delicious and nutritious recipes. As a nod to our newly re-launched soy-free protein powder, Ultima Power, we’ve whipped up three protein-rich recipes beyond the typical same ‘ol protein shake. Formulated with 12 superfruits, greens and herbs, and 15 grams of pea and rice protein, this plant-based protein powder contains zero artificial colors and flavors, is non-GMO and last, but not least… Gluten free.
