Pea Protein Recipes (Using Nuzest Protein Powder)

May 14, 2022 · Leave a Comment

This post contains a collection of some of my favorite pea protein recipes; from pea protein muffins to cookies, protein bars and energy bites. All recipes are gluten free and dairy free.

If you're familiar with my blog, or follow me over on Instagram, then you know I use pea protein frequently. I bake with it, add it to yogurt bowls and use it in smoothies.

I've tried a couple different brands of pea protein, but one of my favorites is Nuzest. Nuzest has high standards and their protein powder actually tastes good. Plus, it's low in sugar, carbs and additives - something I look for in a protein powder.

Nuzest Pea Protein Facts

  • Vegan and Paleo friendly: no grains, no gluten, no dairy, no refined sugar
  • easy to digest: it's processed using a low-heat, enzymatic isolation process (which is functionally very similar to fermenting or sprouting) and this effectively removes most of the phytate, lectins, saponins, and trypsin inhibitors that are associated with legumes.
  • free of fillers, additives and artificial sweeteners
  • tested for heavy metals, pesticides, solvents and common allergens
  • certified gluten free and non GMO

I consider Nuzest clean lean protein one of the "cleanest" protein powders out there.  It's one I feel safe eating regularly and giving to my kids.  Plus, I love the taste.

Where to Buy Nuzest Pea Protein Powder

The best place to buy Nuzest pea protein powder is from the Nuzest website. They offer a wide range of protein flavors, along with bars and digestive support supplements.

Amazon also carries Nuzest, as well as a few retail locations (which you can find on the Nuzest website).
