First, pick the right taste
For savoury foods, neutrally tasting whey protein is often a good choice. For desserts and sweet baked goods, you can try one of the many available taste variants to add extra flavour and sweetness. Vanilla and chocolate are classic choices but go on and experiment to find your own favourites.
Mix whey protein into the ingredients
The basis for a good result is to distribute the whey protein evenly in your dish. One strategy is to mix it thoroughly with the other ingredients before adding the liquid ingredients.
Shake the whey with water
Another great strategy is to shake the whey protein with a little water before you add it into your food. That way you can easily whisk it into liquid foods like a soup or sauce.
Whisk well until smooth
The whisk is your friend when cooking with whey protein and a good old whisking will take out lumps and get you a nice and smooth result.
Heat your food slowly
To preserve all the great nutrients in the whey protein, you should always cook it gently. Heat your food slowly and avoid boiling it too much. That way you are sure to get the most out of every scoop.
Replace flour with whey protein
In baked goods you can often replace a part of the flour with whey protein. This is because whey protein has some of the same properties as flour. It is not unusual that you can replace up to 20 % of the flour with whey protein. But all recipes are different, so try to add a little protein at a time to see how much your dough can take. Adjust with a little extra liquid if the dough seems dry.
