Chocolate Protein powder

Quick and easy to make, and so much better that shop-bought powders which often contain additives and sweeteners. I use it in pancakes or add some to yoghurt or porridge. You can also change the ingredients depending on what you have in your pantry.

This is the kind of simple swap I often recommend as a health coach, especially for those looking to support their nutrition in a more natural and balanced way.

Homemade protein powder - you know what’s in it!

Homemade protein powder you can trust

Making your own blends like this gives you control over the ingredients while still supporting your energy, recovery, and overall well-being.

It is a great example of how small changes can make a meaningful difference when it comes to your daily habits.

This approach is often used within nutrition coaching, where the focus is on building sustainable routines using whole, minimally processed foods.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/2 cup hemp seeds (hulled hemp seeds are easier to grind than unhulled hemp seeds)

1/2 cup chia seeds

1/4 cup ground flaxseed

2/3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

(You could also try with almonds, pistachios, sesame seeds…)

Preparation

Grind the seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, hemp and chia) separately, then put in a container.

Add flaxseed, cocoa powder and cinnamon (if using).

That’s it!

How this fits into a balanced lifestyle

Simple additions like this can help increase your protein and nutrient intake without relying on heavily processed products.

Within health and wellness coaching, the goal is to find practical solutions that support your lifestyle and feel easy to maintain long term.
