Plant-based protein powders can be expensive and often include unnecessary additives. With a few simple ingredients, you can make your own DIY protein powder that’s nutritious, delicious, and cost-effective.
In this blog, I’ll share two easy-to-make protein blends — Fall Fuel and Golden Warrior — along with tips for hosting small-group make-and-take workshops.
Why Make Your Own Plant-Based Protein Powder?
Affordable DIY Protein
High-quality protein powder from the store can cost over $2 per serving. Making your own allows you to save up to 70% while still getting complete protein and essential nutrients.
Health Benefits
Plant-based protein: Hemp, pea, and sunflower seed powders provide protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Natural boosters: Apple Pie Spice and Golden Booster enhance flavour while adding antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Customizable: Control sweetness, flavour intensity, and add-ins to suit your taste.
Interactive & Fun
Workshops are perfect for small groups (minimum 4 participants). You’ll mix your own blends, customize flavours, and take home a full jar.
