Protein powders available in the market can be expensive and may not suit you. Here is a natural protein powder recipe you can make at home to accelerate your weight loss journey.
Why Protein Powder?
Protein can help you with weight loss as it increases metabolism while also suppressing food cravings. It is also important for muscle health.
Ingredients
To make protein powder at home, you will need half a cup of almonds, peanuts, pistachios, melon seeds, cashews, and walnuts.
Process
Use a nonstick pan and dry roast the nuts individually. After roasting nuts, keep them separately on a plate. Transfer the mixture to a blender to make a fine powder.
Optional
You can also add unsweetened milk powder to enhance taste and texture. Store the homemade protein powder in an airtight container.
Quantity
You can take up to 1-2 tablespoons of this protein powder before beginning your work out. It will also give you an energy boost.
Maximum Benefit
If you are in dire need of protein, you can take this protein powder with a cup of soy milk or almond milk.
Conclusion
While homemade protein powder is generally safe, you can replace nuts with chana dal and seeds in case of any nut allergy.
