Hi! I’m still trying to paint the kitchen cabinets. It’s going… um, messy. I am physically unable to do anything and not make a mess. I manage to dirty 4 dishes just pouring a glass of water!
So, I didn’t want to cook eggs (or anything else) in the chaos of my kitchen this morning. But I wanted to make sure I had some protein to start the day. Since my blender is in a box somewhere I made protein packed toast.
Protein Peanut Butter Toast
I’ve made protein PB before with protein powder + PB or almond butter –> but that often comes out super dry.
So I added a splash of milk first to the protein powder and it was creamy and smooth.
Ingredients: 2 Tb. PB or almond butter, 1 scoop protein powder, ~ 2 Tb. milk
Directions:
- Mix protein powder and milk thoroughly.
- Put nut butter in small microwave safe bowl and heat to make it easier to stir (15-30 seconds depending on how hard it is to stir).
- Combine.
Enjoy on toast, a banana, straight from the spoon!
There are a lot of protein added nut butters out there right now. This requires a little more work, but is a lot less expensive! I used vanilla protein powder, but it should work with any flavor.
If you want a ready made option I’ve heard Buff Bake is really good (but I’m not fancy enough to have tried it myself).
I have tried this Go Lo High Protein Almond Butter and it’s good, but a little drier than regular almond butter. There are so many options so if you know one is amazing share it in the comments!
Just a little fun fact – I am typing this still covered in paint on my hands and arms because it doesn’t want to come off… and I needed to eat before really trying to get clean. So I ate, obviously that’s the priority. But then I remembered I needed to write this post. And now I realize I should get my life together and wash up….
Looks very tasty. Have to try it at home 🙂
Peanut butter any time any way. I like almond butter but not all almond butter is created equally. I’ve tried several flavors of buff bake, and I like it. But I’ve only ordered when I can get a free shipping deal, so not often. I do have 4 jars in my fridge right now, because they had a good deal recently. However, I like your simple method. I like Kroger natural PB about as good as any PB, and it’s less than $2 a jar. Can’t beat it!
Both Muscle Butter and Nuts ‘N More are great! But thanks for the recipe – this is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks! I wish I named this something fun like Muscle Butter 🙂
Almond butter is my favorite.
However, I don’t eat it as often as peanut butter because AB is pricey in comparison to PB. This is not a problem for me cause I LOVE Peanut Butter as well. PB&J Sandwiches take me back to my childhood.
Me too! If I have a real PB&J I have to have it with milk and it’s just a comfort food 🙂
I LOVE peanut butter but in sort of an unhealthy way, I can’t stop eating it once I start. My favorite nut butter is actually tahini, weird right?
I have never tried adding protein powder to a nut butter but I will be doing this asap, such a good idea and way less expensive than the store bought alternatives!

I’ve never had tahini straight up – do you eat it plain?
What does think taste like? I’ve never had it.
Almond butter, 100%!
