  • Add peanuts and nutritional yeast to stir frys, noodle dishes, mac & cheese, etc.
  • Add lentils to curries
  • Add cheese sauce to anything! (8g protein - add 9g if you replace the flour w half soy flour & half vital wheat gluten)
  • Baked goods (including noodles)! For bread-like consistency, replace part of the flour with a 1:1 mixture of vital wheat gluten and protein powder mix (=82.5g protein per 100g). For cake/brownie-like consistency, only use protein powder mix.
