High-Protein Banana Bread / Bananenbrot

 By Dieter, inspired by https://foodlovin.de/kiwi-banana-bread-mit-macadamia-nuessen/

4 Bananen / bananas
8EL Eiweisspulver (wir benutzen eine Mischung aus 4 Teilen Reisprotein, 4 Teilen Erbsenprotein, 1 Teil Hanfprotein) / protein powder (we use a mixture of 4 parts rice protein, 4 parts pea protein, 1 part hemp protein)
2TL Backpulver / baking powder

1/2TL Salz / salt

4EL Ahornsirup/Reissirup/ maple or rice syrup

4EL Sonnenblumenöl / sunflower oil

Mögliche Extras / potential extras

1/2 Tüte Schokoladechips  / half a bag of chocolate chips

oder / or

4EL gemahlene Mandel / ground almonds

Alle festen Zutaten in einer großen Backform mischen. Die flüssigen Zutaten hinzufügen und mit einer Gabel umrühren, bis alles gut vermischt ist. 45 Minuten bei 180C/375F backen.

Mix all the solid ingredients in a large baking tray. Add the liquid ingredients, and stir with a fork until everything is well mixed. Bake for 45 mins at 180C/375F.

Makes ~16 small pieces. Our version contains a total of 100g of protein, so ~6gr protein per piece.

Protein bars / Builder balls

Builder balls 

(based on Clif builder bars) by Dieter

4T peanut butter (16g protein)

12T protein powder (we use a mix of rice, pea, and hemp) (80g protein)

8T water (more if it is too clumpy or too crumbly)

2-4T maple syrup or rice syrup

1/2 chocolate bar broken into small pieces

Optional: squeeze a few orange slices into the mix or use a chocolate bar with orange in it

• Melt the peanut butter and syrup in a saucepan
• Mix in the rest of the ingredients
• Heat at medium heat, constantly stirring until everything is mixed and smooth (don't need to boil, just warm up)
• Mix in other ingredients for flavour and texture if you want (e.g. breakfast cereals, chocolate). For chocolate, remove the pan from heat and mix in the chocolate so that there are chocolate chunks and it isn't all melted through
• Form into balls or bars (makes ~6 small bars, each has 16g of protein), and let cool.

Milk and yogurt / milch und jogurt

 We are going to start trying to make our own high protein milk and high protein yogurt. Let the adventures begin!

Hemp milk/hanf milch

Recipe by https://www.smarticular.net/hanfmilch-vegan-glutenfrei-regional-laktosefrei-rezept/

Put 100g hemp seeds (unshelled) in a blender until they are in small pieces. 30g protein/100g

Add 500ml water and blend until mixed. If using for yogurt, can just leave it like this rather than strain the milk out through a towel. 

Then add 500 ml water… need to get clearer on the instructions 

30g protein/l

Yogurt

Based on a recipe by https://www.thebossysauce.com/thebs/vegan-mango-coconut-yogurt-recipe-instant-pot-sous-vide

Mix in a blender:

Jalapeño poppers

Puff pastry sheets / Blätterteig

Jalapeños (sliced)

1t Cheese - like Dieter's cheese

1t Veganaise

1T Fava beans (cooked)

Defrost, cut, and stretch out the pastry sheets. Place ingredients on top. Seal the edges of the pastry to itself. Bake at 200C for 15 min or until golden brown on top.

Fava Bean Hummus

 By Dieter

Traditional:

100g broad beans / dicke Bohnen (gekocht, aus einer Dose/Glas) (dried beans makes 500g hummus)

4T white sesame seeds / weisse Sesamsamen

2t coriander powder / Korianderpulver
2t black pepper / schwarzer Pfeffer
1t salt / Salz
2t lime or lemon juice / Limetten- oder Zitronensaft
5T olive oil / Olivenöl
10T water / Wasser

Fuul-Style:

100g broad beans / dicke Bohnen (gekocht, aus einer Dose/Glas) (dried beans makes 500g hummus)

5T olive oil / Olivenöl

10T water / Wasser

3T tomato puree / Tomatenpuree

2T coriander stems / Feste Teile des Korianders

1T cinnamon / Zimt

1T cumin / Kreuzkümmel

1T cayenne pepper / Cayenne-Pfeffer

1T coriander powder / Korianderpulver

1t salt / Salz

Pizza-Flavour:

100g broad beans / dicke Bohnen (gekocht, aus einer Dose/Glas) (dried beans makes 500g hummus)

100ml flavoured oil (we use the oil from marinated artichokes; alternative mix olive oil with water, and add more herbs)

1T Italian herbs / Italienische Kräutermischung

1T tomato paste / Tomatenpuree

1/2t salt / Salz

1/2t cayenne pepper / Cayenne-Pfeffer

The broad beans come in two forms already cooked in a glass or dry. If they are cooked in a glass or can, cook them again in boiling water, then use them in the hummus. If the beans are dry, soak them in water for 24 hours, then boil them for 50 minutes, and either mash them with a fork or put them in the blender with the rest of the ingredients. With the dry beans, we like to leave the skins on, but if you prefer a smoother hummus, you can remove the skins after boiling.

Combine all ingredients in the blender, and mix until it is a smooth thick paste. You might have to use the pulsing function on the blender, and you can adjust the amount of water depending on how thick you want the hummus to be.

Eat with toasted pita bread or pumpkin seed crackers.

Alle Zutaten in den Mixer geben und mixen, bis eine glatte, dicke Paste entsteht. Möglicherweise muss die Pulsierfunktion des Mixers verwendet werden. Die Wassermenge kann angepasst werden, je nachdem wie dick der Hummus sein soll.

Iss mit getostete pita brot oder protein knäcke brot.

Protein boosters / weekly meal plan

g protein/100g : g protein/tablespoon

• 85: 10 protein powder (mix of 2/5 pea/ 2/5 rice/ 1/5 hemp) (US links: pea, rice, hemp)
• 80 : 7 vital wheat gluten (seitan powder)
• 50 : 4 nutritional yeast
• 40 : 5 soy flakes
• 40 : 2 soy flour
• 30 : 3 hemp seeds
• 27 : 3 almond butter
• 26 : 2.5 broad (fava) beans (Germany, US) - high in leucine 2.1g/100g (Rondanelli et al 2020) for muscle building and in L-dopamine (Bhattacharyya 2022) for restless leg syndrome (Manconi et al 2021)
• 25 : 4 peanut butter
• 25 : 2 peanuts
• 21 : 2 almonds - high leucine 1.5
• 19 : 2 sesame seeds
• 18 : 1 flax seeds
• 17 : 3 chia
• 15 : ? hazelnuts 
• 12.5 : 3 oats
• 9 : 1 lentils
• 9 : 1 kidney beans
• 6 : 1 green peas

Tricks

• Add protein powder, hemp seeds, peanut butter, and/or soy flakes to cereal/müsli and use high protein soy milk (5g/100ml so about 12g/250ml Alpro, which is 1 breakfast)
• Add peanuts and nutritional yeast to stir frys, noodle dishes, mac & cheese, etc.
• Add cooked fava beans to curries, lasagne, mac & cheese, and lots more
• 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)! Replace part of the flour with the protein powder mix above. We used to replace part of the flour with a 1:1 mixture of vital wheat gluten and protein powder mix (=82.5g protein per 100g), but we like the protein powder mix much better. For cake/brownie-like consistency, only use protein powder mix. 

Snacks (g protein/snack sized amount)

• 20g Clif Builder bar (Amazon, Riegelpower.de) and Builder Dars
• 22g (4 small squares from a 32 piece batch) Drownies

• 10g Alpro high protein yogurt - I can eat 200g as a snack so that's 10g (5/100g)
• 10g IronMaxx Vegan 30 bar (Rewe)
