    Would never think to cook protein powder. I eat my egg whites raw with a shake when I have a shake.

    Interesting. Should be nothing wrong with cooking it. The Anabolic Cookbook has a number of pancake and muffin recipes that all include protein powder as an ingredient.

    there are recipes that involve cooking with protein powder.

    check with JimmyInkedUp, I think he is compiling a book of recipes tailored to our crowd that utilizes protein powder as one of the ingredients in some of his recipes.

    Denaturing is the process by which proteins essentially "unfold" and lose biological function. Typically, proteins can withstand a certain temperature before this happens. This nugget of truth has led folks to believe that incorporating protein powders into homemade recipes—such as protein bars, muffins, or other baked food—and cooking them will denature the proteins, rendering them ineffective.

    Yes, the protein does get altered from the cooking heat, but the body will absorb the constituent amino acids just the same. The nutritional value remains constant, as well. In this regard, cooking protein powder is no different than cooking a piece of chicken, and who would want to eat raw chicken? You may now let out a sigh of relief and continue your regularly scheduled protein bake session.

    So happy when someone asks about cooking protein powder because that means I can plug my favourite cooking blog :-) This girl from down under have done pretty much everything with protein powder imaginable.

    Here is one example: All Recipe Posts | Chocolate Chilli Mango
