Let’s start with the simplest first. A protein shake is easy to prepare – just add water or your choice of milk, your protein powder, and shake! Roam Protein tastes great with water or milk, and our stainless steel insulated shaker will keep your favourite shake colder for longer.

2.     Protein Smoothies or Smoothie Bowls

If you’re looking for endless ideas to use protein powder, smoothies are for you! You can add fresh or frozen fruit, vegetables, Energy Nut Butter – whatever you like! All you need is a blender and your favourite ingredients.

Smoothies are great as a light but filling breakfast, an afternoon snack, or even post-workout. A great way to recover after a hard session is to mix protein powder with a banana into a smoothie with a pinch of salt: the protein will help with muscle protein synthesis, the carbohydrate in the banana will replenish muscle glycogen stores, and the salt will replace lost electrolytes from sweating.

Prefer a smoothie that tastes more like ice cream? Just use
less liquid when blending for a thicker consistency.

Here are some of our favourite smoothie recipes:

• Mango and Coconut Vanilla Protein Smoothie
• Strawberry and Yoghurt Smoothie

Mixing protein into your porridge is a simple hack to add more protein to your diet. It will keep you feeling fuller for longer. Oats have some protein, but if you’re looking to keep full and meet your daily protein intake, you really want to try to hit 30+ grams of protein in your main meals. A half cup of rolled oats (dry) and 1 serving of Roam Protein will get you there, no problem.

4.     Protein Balls

Your regular store-bought bliss balls are often high in sugar, using ingredients like date syrup and honey. While delicious, they could provide more nutritional value! Enter protein balls – relatively quick to make (especially if you have a food processor or blender), you can keep these in the fridge for when hunger strikes, or pack them as a healthy snack at the office.
