Whey protein isn't just for post-workout shakes. It's a convenient way to add complete, high-quality protein to foods you're already eating — especially when time is tight and nutrition matters.
Whether you're trying to increase protein intake at breakfast, add staying power to snacks, or make meals more nutritious, CAN-WHEY makes it easy.
Here are five practical ways to use CAN-WHEY in everyday meals and snacks — no blender required.
1. Add to Oatmeal or Overnight Oats
Stirring protein powder into oats is a simple way to make your breakfast more balanced and filling.
How to use it:
- Cook oats as usual (or prep overnight oats)
- Stir in ½ to 1 scoop of CAN-WHEY after cooking or soaking
- Add toppings like fruit, seeds, or nut butter
💡 Pro tip: Add a splash of extra milk or water to help with mixing.
2. Blend Into Smoothies or Smoothie Bowls
Smoothies are a great way to include protein, fruits, fibre, and healthy fats — all in one glass or bowl.
Basic smoothie recipe:
- 1 scoop CAN-WHEY
- 1 cup milk or plant-based milk
- 1 banana or ½ cup frozen fruit
- 1 tbsp nut butter or seeds
- Ice (optional)
For a smoothie bowl, use less liquid and top with granola, berries, or coconut.
3. Bake Into Protein Pancakes or Muffins
You can use whey protein in baking to increase protein content without changing the flavour too much.
Simple protein pancake recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 scoop CAN-WHEY
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ banana (mashed)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1–2 tbsp milk (to loosen batter)
Directions:
- Blend all ingredients until smooth
- Pour small circles onto a heated non-stick pan
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side
- Serve with fruit or Greek yogurt for a balanced meal
✅ Pro tip: Store baked recipes in a cool, dry place or fridge for freshness.
4. Stir Into Yogurt or Cottage Cheese
For a quick high-protein snack, stir a scoop of CAN-WHEY into a bowl of plain yogurt or cottage cheese.
Ideas to try:
- Add cinnamon and sliced apple
- Stir in cocoa powder and berries
- Use vanilla protein for a dessert-style bowl
Great for afternoon snacks or an evening bite without the sugar crash.
