Homemade Protein Powder
Servings: 15
This protein powder recipe takes just three ingredients: hemp protein, chia seeds and flaxseed, ground together in 5 minutes. Each serving adds 16g of plant-based protein to your smoothie, and one batch makes 15 servings for about $1.44 each.
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cup hemp protein powder
- 5 tbsp chia seeds
- 5 tbsp flaxseed
Instructions
- Combine the hemp protein powder, chia seeds and flaxseed in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on high until it becomes a fine powder, stopping occasionally so the mixture doesn't get warm. If it starts caking, scrape the bottom of the blender with a thin spatula.
- Transfer to an airtight container with a wide opening for easy scooping.
Notes
- Blender Tip: If the powder isn't fine and smooth, keep grinding. Doubling or tripling the batch gives the blades more to work with and makes it easier to grind.
- Shopping Tip: Look for a hemp protein powder with hemp as the only ingredient.
- Serving Ideas: Blend a scoop into smoothies, or stir it into oatmeal or energy balls. For more options, see our guide to plant-based protein.
- Storing: Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the fridge for up to 1 month.
