How to make Homemade Protein Powder
Roast the Nuts and Seeds (Optional)
Lightly toast the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and almonds in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes to enhance the flavor.
Blend into Powder
Add the almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, chia seeds, and hemp hearts into a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend in short bursts until you achieve a fine powder.
Sift (Optional)
For a very smooth protein powder, sift the mixture to remove any larger pieces. Re-blend the leftover chunks if necessary.
Add Flavoring (Optional)
Mix in cinnamon, cocoa powder, or vanilla powder for added flavor. Stir in a sweetener like stevia or coconut sugar if desired.
Store
Transfer the protein powder to an airtight container or jar. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.
