Vegan protein pudding – extra creamy
Are you one of those people who believe, “As long as it’s pudding”? Then you’ll find an easy vegan protein pudding recipe here that satisfies your craving while adding a little variety. You can use this base to make different flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate, or berry, to suit your mood.
- Measure out 100 g of vanilla plant-based drink and heat 80 g of it in a saucepan. Sweeten to taste.
- While the drink heats up, stir the starch into the remaining 20 g.
- As soon as the vanilla drink starts to steam, add your starch mixture.
- Now stir vigorously and continuously as the pudding thickens to prevent it from burning.
- As soon as it starts to simmer, remove it from the heat immediately and stir in your protein powder – after all, we don’t want to miss out on extra protein when enjoying pudding.
- Now comes the step that gives each variety its character: Add vanilla extract, cocoa powder, or berries for your desired flavor.
Protein smoothie in 3 varieties
In the mood for smoothies again? Here are three protein smoothies. They’re all fruity and refreshing, with around 23 g of protein per serving, making them great high-protein drinks. We’ve put together berry, mango-passion fruit, and a green smoothie as quick, high-protein snacks you can drink.
Let’s get started: First, prepare the fresh ingredients for your favorite variety: peel, chop, and so on. Put all the ingredients for your preferred version in the blender and let it blend everything thoroughly. An immersion blender in a tall container works just as well.
Then all you need to do is pour the smoothie into a pretty glass, with or without ice cubes as you like, and dig in.
Protein cookie recipe – quick & easy
With this recipe, you can easily make delicious protein cookies yourself, even without any baking experience. These little treats provide 6 g of protein per serving and are wonderfully crunchy and chocolatey.
What do you need to do? Just prepare a simple cookie dough with a flaxseed egg as a vegan egg substitute. Applesauce gives the dough a moist touch and extra sweetness, while the Vegan Protein Vanilla adds an extra boost of protein.
After mixing, briefly fold the essential chocolate chips into the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Then you can shape small cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Now just bake them in the oven for about ten minutes until golden brown, and they’re ready!
Make your own protein bars – easy recipe
Everyone needs reliable DIY protein bars, don’t you think? And if not, this recipe for quick, high-protein snacks will win you over.
First, mix all the dry ingredients for your DIY bar. Then add the wet ingredients and the flaxseed egg you quickly and easily mixed up beforehand. Knead everything into a dough and, most importantly, taste it. After all, they’re meant to be your personal favorite bars.
Then spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake it for about 20 minutes. Once cooled, cut the mixture into bars as you like. And if you need something even quicker, just grab our vegan protein bars.
Protein crêpes – a taste of France
Delicious crêpes can do more than just taste unbelievably good. They can also provide 5 g of protein per serving. Don’t believe it? This protein crêpe recipe with French flair will show you.
Once you’ve mixed the dry ingredients, such as flour and protein powder, add the plant-based drink and applesauce – if you like your crêpes sweet. For a savory version, simply leave out the applesauce.
Stir until smooth, leave to stand for ten minutes, then fry in a pan with vegan butter. By the way, you don’t need a special crêpe pan. Cook each side for about 30 to 60 seconds. Then add toppings and enjoy.
Protein waffles – fluffy & light
Now you can easily make fluffy protein waffles just the way you like them. That means less sugar and more protein, specifically 12 g of protein per serving.
First, mix all the dry ingredients to prevent lumps in the batter. Then add the wet ingredients to the bowl. Now whisk everything with a hand mixer or a whisk until you have a fairly thick batter.
Almost done: Simply pour the batter into your waffle iron, cook for about three to four minutes, and you’re ready to eat – if you want to enjoy your waffles warm. They taste great once cooled, too.
Quick Protein Bowl – ideal for meal prep
This brownie bowl delivers a whopping 45 g of protein. It’s also incredibly easy to make, making it a great all-round idea for quick, protein-rich snacks, especially if you like them sweet and chocolatey.
- Chop nuts
- Mash a banana in a bowl
- Add the oats, quark, chocolate protein powder, and chopped nuts to the banana.
- Mix everything well
- Gradually add plant-based milk until you like the consistency.
- If you want an extra chocolatey flavor, add cocoa powder; otherwise, vanilla extract is great.

Protein Kaiserschmarrn - sweet & filling
Protein Kaiserschmarrn is one of those quick, high-protein snack recipes that’s as delicious as a decadent dessert. So it’s not only great for a snack between meals, but can also be served as dessert.
First, mix the batter. It’s best to combine all the dry ingredients first, then add the wet ones. After that, work quickly so the baking soda keeps the batter nice and fluffy. So quickly fry it in a pan for four to five minutes, then divide it into four pieces with a spatula and flip them. Once the other side is cooked through too, break the four pieces into bite-sized chunks. Add the topping and enjoy right away.
Protein Muffins - quick & easy
Muffins are always a great choice, whether for a snack on the go, to bring as a guest, or to enjoy a little treat at the gym, university, or work.
For this protein muffin recipe, you first make vegan buttermilk - it’s quick and easy, and doesn’t require a farm internship, we promise. But it adds that special flavor. Then simply stir it into a batter with the other ingredients, a little at a time. For blueberry muffins, briefly toss the fruit in flour and gently fold it into the batter at the end. Fill the cute, classic muffin cups and bake for about 25 minutes.
The Best Protein Brownies
These protein brownies are not only delicious enough to bite into, but also provide 7 g of protein per serving. They’re easy to take along as quick, high-protein snacks. They’re lightly sweetened with soaked, naturally pitted dates. This adds a slightly caramel-like flavor and avoids unnecessary refined sugar when snacking.
After soaking the dates, simply add them to the blender along with all the other ingredients. Pour the resulting batter into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. After about 30 minutes in the oven, leave your protein brownies to cool, then cut them into classic squares.
