This DIY Protein Powder Is The Upgrade Your Smoothie Needs

Miyoko Schinner, known for her work in reinventing dairy with plant-based ingredients, has created a homemade vegan protein powder that is rich in both protein and fiber. In a recent video on her YouTube channel, she demonstrates how to make this DIY blend using ingredients like chickpea flour, hemp protein powder, flaxseeds, and chia seeds. The blend delivers around 10 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber per serving, making it a nutritious addition to smoothies.

Schinner emphasizes the importance of using whole-food options in her protein powder blend, as opposed to the ultra-processed options found in commercial powders. By keeping the base neutral, she encourages customization with ingredients like vanilla powder or cocoa powder for flavor. The final result is a thick and satisfying smoothie that provides a whole food source of protein, proving that protein powder doesn't have to come from a lab or a plastic tub to be effective.
