Sharing some of my favorite products from @marigoldfoodstx and the treats that I’ve made with them! The protein powders & coffees are my favorite, I use them every day! The taste is great, clean ingredients, and they easily mix into any treats you want to make. My favorite treats with protein powder are fluffy yogurts. They are packed with protein and so yummy. My favorite flavors currently have been strawberry cheesecake & s’mores. For my coffees, I drink one every morning, I add Fairlife milk to add even more protein. Have you tried any of these yet? What is your favorite treat to make with protein powder?

Recipe from @lifewith.deedee

I love all things apple flavored for fall so I knew I had to make some apple pie protein yogurts. These are perfect for meal prep too! Here’s how I made this

1 c greek yogurt
1 tbsp sf cheesecake pudding mix
1 scoop vanilla protein powder @marigoldfoodstx
Mix together until smooth and refrigerate
When ready to serve add 1/3 c sf apple pie filling. You can top with apple pie spice, whipped cream & caramel, sometimes I add graham cracker crumbs or granola too

You don`t have to struggle to hit those protein goals anymore...

Recipe from @Curtis|Healthy Recipe Creator

Make these few swaps and you`ll be closer to hitting those goals:
•Adding protein powder into your cake/brownie mix (I`m using my favorite @marigoldfoodstx in the rich chocolate malt flavor)
•Swap non-fat plain greek yogurt instead of using oil (healthy fats and a bit more protein)

Simple swaps like these can take your box cake/brownie mix to the next level.

That`s what I did for these brownies I made and the chocolate protein powder made the chocolate flavor of the brownies pop even more.
