Tips & Variations

• Swap raspberries with blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries based on your preference or seasonal availability.
• For a vegan option, replace egg and egg whites with flax eggs and use a plant-based protein powder.
• Adding a handful of chopped nuts or a drizzle of nut butter on top can enhance texture and flavor.
• If you prefer a sweeter bowl, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the batter before blending.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or enjoy cold as a quick snack or breakfast.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of protein powder?

Yes, you can substitute the vanilla whey isolate protein powder with any protein powder you prefer, such as plant-based or collagen protein. Just keep in mind the flavor and texture may vary slightly.

What if I don’t have a blender?

If you don’t have a blender, try whisking the ingredients thoroughly by hand or using a food processor to combine them until smooth. It may take a bit more effort but works well enough.
