*Note: When baking with protein powder, we recommend staying away from pure isolate powder because it can create a cardboard texture. Whey/Casein blends usually work best for baking — our favorite is the Devotion Nutrition brand. If you are interested in trying Devotion Nutrition, use “AVATAR” at checkout and save 10%.

Using another brand of protein powder may result in slightly different macros. Click here to get expert tips on baking with other types of protein powder in our free online guide.
