LABRADA Nutrition - Jamie Eason Isolate Whey

I am pretty sure it is no secret that I love that baking with protein powder!! I was beyond thrilled and honored when LABRADA Nutrition contacted me and asked if I would try their Lean Body for Her whey in some recipes.  

They sent me two flavors of Jamie Eason Whey Isolate from their Lean Body for Her line.

This whey is great for anyone with celiac disease or a lactose intolerance! 

Too many protein powders are filled with artificial flavors and colors.  None of that in this bag!

I could not wait to start baking!!

*Note that when I use protein powder in baking, I use 30 grams for a scoop to stay consistent*

How about some chocolate cookies for breakfast?!

Make that an entire plate of cookies for only 260 calories!

Whole batch - 260 calories 3F 33C 26P

Go ahead! Make everyone jealous by telling them you ate a dozen cookies for breakfast! 

These also freeze well so fell free to make a double or triple batch!

 Some people struggle to get enough veggies in their diet.  If that sounds like you, then try some spinach pancakes! Yes, you read that right! Spinach pancakes!! They taste so good that you will forget you are eating a whole cup of spinach!

Popeye would love these!! 

I cannot wait until next St. Patrick's Day! Everyone will be making these!

I top mine off with a little spray butter, sugar free syrup, and a sprinkle of salt.  Perfection!

Ready for dessert? 

How about some Healthy Chocolate Brownies?

Yes! Soft, chocolatey, delicious brownies that are good for you!!

You could just eat one...but why stop there? The whole batch, all six bars, only has about 270 calories!

Let's get crazy and add some frosting to these already fabulous brownies!

So simple.  Just mix together some fat free cream cheese, a little unsweetened cocoa powder, and some sweetener.  

Now that is what I call dessert!

I guarantee no one will guess the secret ingredients that makes these brownies so soft and moist!

Check out the recipe for yourself.

Yum! 

One of my favorite things to make has got to be pancakes! You can make basically any flavor and they are great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! 

With Fall right around the corner, I decided to whip up a batch of Butternut Squash Pancakes. 

I love the combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and squash! The vanilla whey mixed up great.

Someone needs to capture the smell of these in a candle! I would burn it all day every day!!

Such a great post workout snack!

I even tricked my husband and gave him a scoop of the Natural Chocolate whey for his post workout shake.  

I asked him later how his shake was...He said it did taste a little different, but that it was great!! Watch out ladies! Your man might try to steal your protein! No whey Jose! Ha, see what I did there...
