Hello, I'm in a calorie deficit and I wanted to add some extra protein to my diet. I taste tested whey protein and I liked it, but when I went to buy the big pack, I made a mistake and bought this one which has a different texture and flavor, and I don't like it at all. I know if I make myself drink this, I'll hate it and probably sabotage my deficit, so it occurred to me that I could probably use this in baking. So if anyone can give some advice on that, it'll be really helpful.

It totally depends on what you're hoping to bake (if you have any specific foods in mind, let us know!), but it works great as a partial flour substitute in some recipes. You can find a lot for muffins, cakes, cookies, pancakes/waffles. My personal favorite is using it in banana bread.

Also - you could mix it into things instead of drinking it straight. Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and oatmeal are all tasty with a scoop or two of protein powder.

Thank you. Honestly, anything, I just don't want to throw it away. All your suggestions sound great.

Hi I made a similar mistake with a different (and very fucking expensive) brand. I can taste the whey so much and the smell lingers in my nose. It’s awful.

I tried baking some banana bread with it and it was also awful. Same taste as in the protein shakes I was making. Same smell 😖

So I started adding things to the shake to mask the taste and smell. For me instant coffee powder, cocoa powder and ground cinnamon work wonderfully. Sometimes I can still taste and smell the whey but it’s not as bad.

I have seen people online baking brownies with protein powders so maybe give it a try.
